British American Expansion During The Civil War

The Antebellum Period in American History is for the most part thought to be the period before the Civil War and after the War of 1812, although some extend it to every one of the years from the reception of the Constitution in 1789 to the start of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. The nation 's economy started growing in the North due to the Industrial Revolution, the South 's cotton blast made slave plantations the focal point of the economy. The addition of new region and western development saw the fortification of American independence and of Manifest Destiny, the thought that Americans and the foundations of the U.S. are ethically better and Americans are ethically committed than spread these foundations. From 1800-1860, the separation of the North and South lead to many opposing viewpoints on national issues. By 1860, compromise was considered impossible due to disagreements over handling slavery, sectionalism in the West, and states ' rights.

The reasons behind the sudden transition of England and it’s American colonies from allies to enemies is still debated today. When the colonies were first created they had a somewhat dependent relationship with the British. Trade was regulated through the British homeland while the British provided structure for the developing colonies. As salutary neglect came into play, the colonies became more independent in their ways by developing their own governments and laws. After the French and Indian War, the British economy dropped due to war expenses. The passing of the Stamp Act and all the taxes to follow were an attempt to create revenue for the British. This created tension between the colonists and the British government. The British government caused rebellion by trying to tax the colonists in ways that had not previously been done and by trying to control the colonies more closely than it previously had. The colonies were justified in waging war and breaking away from the British due to the unfair tyrant, burdensome taxes, and the aggressive behavior of the British.

Britain established a series of acts to control the colonies and this became the main cause of the revolution. These acts enabled

Around 1750, England took more interest in the colonies than they previously had; not about the people or civilizations, but about the money and potential profit the colonists could make for the British. After more than a century of populating the lands and growing farms and cultivating new industries, England jumped in and ended their salutary neglect with the colonists and began to impose laws and taxes on the colonists so they could make as much money as possible off of the colonists. The British felt that making money passively like so would be a good effort to restore a large portion of the funds they lost after the French and Indian War. Unfortunately for the colonists, this not only interfered with their lifestyle but disturbed their business ventures in several ways. Due to these fifteen or so years of having to deal with the British, by the eve of the revolution the colonists had developed a strong sense of their identity and unity as an American Nation.

The United States was able to maintain both liberty and slavery at the same time until around 1848. Between 1848 and the time of the Civil War, many events, mostly pertaining to Westward Expansion, caused a greater divide between the Union. The election of Lincoln was the last draw for the South because they grew tired of negotiating and not getting their way, causing them to succeed from the Union and sparking the Civil War in 1861. With all the acquired new land that was gained in 1848 from the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, people had to start to address the long standing issues that involved a state's slave status. The new land left both sides vying for new states to join their side of the debate, giving them more power and land over the

America from 1754 to 1763. After 1763, the British procured a nation debt of about 140 million pounds. Colonists were told to do their part in paying of this debt therefore their administrative expenses rose from 70,000 to 350,000 pounds. When the Proclamation Line of 1763 prohibited colonists from entering the land they fought for, they were enraged but these new and unfair payments only increased their bitterness. To enforce these payments, George Greenville (Prime minister) reorganized the British Empire’s messy political structures with a mercantilist focus. He then passed these two acts.

The seven years of war for which the British government was apart of caused them to racked up an enormous amount of debt. It was because of this debt that the British government made paying off the nation’s debt a priority for American as well as that of the Mother Land. This cause an approach to which the British’s government start taxing the colonies and restricted any of their economic activities. Things like the Wool Act of 1699, Hat Act of 1732 and Molasses Act of 1733 were all ways use to collect money to help pay off debt for the British’s government.

There has been a long history between the British Crown and the American colonists that gradually led to the fragmentation between them. Originally, the British Crown is known for the cruel and unfair treatment imposed upon the American colonists. All of the acts imposed by the British were designed to greatly improve revenue and support the British, not so much the English. The British Crown and American Colonists gradually had several cruel and conflicting events that led to the American Revolution and Independence due to the unconstitutional and unfair acts imposed by the British on the colonists; such as the Navigation acts, Quartering Acts, and Intolerable Acts.

As the eve of the American Revolution came upon history, British had control of colonist in America and at the time the 7-year war had ended and this caused Britain to become indebted by many countries and British troops that were in the war. As a result of this debt, the king of Britain, King George iii, decided to pass acts toward the American colonist such as the stamp act, Tea act, Malasous act, and to pay back the soldiers the Quartering acts are introduced. In addition, the American colonist did not enjoy act of taxation and quartering acts so as a result, the American identity grew stronger and independent because the colonist had known that the taxes, King George iii placed, were unfair and decided the best solution to this problem

By 1763, there was an dominant and successful empire in England known as British Empire. This empire saw the emergency of the America Revolution because of an argument that rose between American colonists and the British settlers with concerns over the constitution. Following the war that waged on for seven years, a massive debt was thrust upon Great Britain, this debt, became the principal source of the disagreements that arose between the British and the Americans. Which resulted in a series of major revolts that lasted for more than a decade (Bonwick, 1991). England gave assistance to the American army, and as a direct result of their actions the government of England accrued a massive debt. Policy makers of the British Parliament decided

Ever since the first English colonists arrived in Jamestown and Plymouth, the colonists and eventually Americans have always considered expanding west, whether the land was previously inhabited or not: And like most things, many people had different opinions if and how it should be done. Before the 1800s, this issue already had opinions on the best solution. One example of this can be observed by King George III in The Royal Proclamation of 1763, in which he forbade all English settlement past a line in the Appalachian Mountains. Contrarily, Daniel Boone carved out the Wilderness Road and built the settlement of Boonesborough in the late 1700s. These sharp contrasts in ideas led to future debates. From 1800-1855, territorial expansion ignited nationwide debates: The supporters of territorial expansion rallied behind the term “manifest destiny,” while the opposition argued the unconstitutionality of the acquisition of territory, and the future negative consequences expansion may cause.

At the time of the American Civil War, Canada did not yet exist as a federated nation. Instead, British North America consisted of the Province of Canada (parts of modern southern Ontario and southern Quebec) and the separate colonies of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, British Columbia and Vancouver Island, as well as a crown territory administered by the Hudson's Bay Company called Rupert's Land. Britain and its colonies were officially neutral for the duration of the war. Despite this, tensions between Britain and the United States were high due to incidents on the seas, such as the Trent Affair and the Confederate commissioning of the CSS Alabama from Britain.

Liberia has always been under pressure, similar to other countries. At first, the establishment of Liberia in 1822 with the reinforcement of the American Colonization Society may have seemed like a pleasant time. The American Colonization Society’s enterprise was for liberated black slaves to immigrate to Africa. In general, this wasn’t an appalling event along with the time when Liberia was observed as independent by the United States of America in 1862. Although the discovery and foundation of Liberia is essential and positive, Liberia is still like a rose with thorns. Underneath the beauty of Liberia were grotesque misfortunes. In particular, these hardships were the civil war and revolution, violations of human rights, and the

England, 1947. Princess Elizabeth marries George VI, Duke of Edinburgh, in one of the most lavish, anticipated televised events of the decade. The University of Cambridge allows the acceptance of women after nearly 750 years in existence. The British army begins to withdraw troops from the Civil War in Mandatory Palestine. Brain May, a rock ‘n’ roll phenomenon, is born. All significant in their respective areas, these event hold their own place in history. Not one, but two of these events would result in important rulers. More specifically, they would both result in a Queen.

After Charles's execution, England became a republic called the Commonwealth of England. A committee of Parliament ruled the country. Cromwell ended the Commonwealth of England in 1653, as I previously stated by forcibly disbanding the Long Parliament. The Parliament was called Long because part of it had been meeting since 1640. England then became a dictatorship called the Protectorate, with Cromwell as lord protector.
