Civil War Dbq

The Civil war was not inevitable; it was the result of extremism and failures of leadership on both sides. This war was long forthcoming; we see this conflict as a nation divided or as Lincoln put it a house divided (Doc 4). It was a conflict between pro-slavery southerners and anti-slavery northerners. Both sides felt strongly about their position, leading to neither side backing down. However, this war could have been avoided through a compromise of stronger leadership and less extremism.

Who’s fault was it, the colonists, or the lobster backs? Both of them are at fault for several reasons. I believe that it is the British fault when they shoot up the colonists. In Document 4, the picture will show a biased opinion of the soldiers shooting up the colonists. This can be used as a biased opinion because the artist is only showing what bad the British soldier.

The post-Civil War, also known as the extended period that came to be known as the Gilded Age, was largely centered around and influenced by big business and corporations. The newfound efficiency of resources and mass production resulted in a wide variety of available products but also a wide divide between classes and a misdistribution of power that led to the forming of unions and passing of anti-trust legislation. Big business employed money and power to control and manipulate the economy and politics to their own advantage through dishonest means and exploitation of poor immigrants. Americans such as Samuel Gompers worked on the creation of different labor unions to protect the common people and authors such as Jacob Riis and Stephen

After declaring their independence from the Spanish Empire and (later) the Mexican Empire, the United Provinces of Central America experienced problems in their government. For years, the Assembly had been dissolved three different times and four Presidents were exiled. Despite the chaos, many Central Americans wanted to remain united; however, it wasn't enough to keep people at bay. The civil war began during the Mexican-American War in 1846.

In the mid-1800s, North and South of the United States started a war with each other known as the Civil War. It all began with the attack on Fort Sumter on April 12th 1861. It was the bloodiest and saddest war in American history. The tension between the North and the South started to grow rapidly because their unity was replaced by sectionalism. The South slowly started to secede from the Union because of numerous reasons such as slavery and Abraham Lincoln.

The time leading up to the Civil War was plagued by extreme sectionalism between the North and South caused by major social disagreements, as well as economic and political differences. The differences between the regions contributed both to the start of the war and the war’s outcome. In the years 1861-1865, the North and South each had significant advantages and disadvantages during the Civil War. Although the South’s passion for the “southern cause” was very strong, the Union also presented a huge commitment to the war and their values.

This whole war between the north and the south all started because of one thing. The South wanted slavery intact and the North wanted to keep the union together. Shortly after the civil war came to an end, there was still a problem that had to be dealt with. What would happen to the farms and cities. Not to mention, what would happen if slavery ended? What kind of life would slaves live? The north were the upper states of union. Also were the industrial section of the united states. On the other side, the south were the lower section of the union.Therefore, they were farmers and hard labor workers. They grew most of the food and other goods that go to the all of the united states. The south and the north had many differences between them. They

Before the Civil War era, the Federal Government was conjoined to be known as the Union. The Union consisted of twenty Free states and five Border States but all history comes to an end at one point. A year later the Union broke apart bringing in the Civil War due to important causes as well. These causes would be weak presidential leadership, the Dredd Scott decision, the Kansas- Nebraska Act and slavery. While all played an important, three successfully cause the union to break apart.

Countries fight other countries all the time, but would a country really fight against it’s own people? Yes, in 1861 Americans fought other Americans in The Civil War. America was divided into two parts, the Union and the Confederacy. They fought over their opinions about slavery, which the Union was heavily against and the Confederacy loved. One of the major states that was part of the Confederacy was Texas, but that made others wonder, why did Texans fight in the Civil War? Texans fought in the Civil War to protect states rights, for their love of Texas, and to keep slavery around.

After the war the even though slavery was abolished, African American still had very little rights, especially in the former Confederate states, this indicates that yes a big part of the war was fought because of slavery but since African Americans were still treated very poorly after the war, it shows that a large part of the war was fought more for states’ rights in general. These states still created laws and enacted legislation such as the Black Codes to try and show that even though they lost the war they still had their states’ rights to pass these laws. The Northern response to things such as the black codes was not so much a humanitarian response but more of a political move. Their protection of freedmen was mainly because they wanted

There are various issues that led to the secession of the South, and eventually to the American Civil War. From the time period of 1846 to 1860 many things occurred that contributed to the shift to war and the secession of Southern States, but three things that brought forth both the secession and war was The Bleeding of Kansas, John Brown’s Raid, and the election of Abraham Lincoln.

The war has been going on for two years now and as we continue to fight we continue to lose our wealth. As southerners we remember a time where everyone knew who was the true king, to the whole world Cotton was King.(Here) Our economy thrives because of cotton, our plantations produced wealth in days. We were kings of this land, then darkness tried to destroy us, the North wanted to take not only our wealth but also our life style. The reality was they were foolish to declare war as senator James Henry Hammond said “No, you dare not make war on cotton.

The Civil War was a result of one main topic, which was slavery. Slavery was a largely controversial issue that was considered by different people in many different ways. When the government seemed to take little action, some people decided to take their own actions, leading to further conflict. Many events led up to the war itself, however, including new territorial issues, the Compromise of 1850, and Lincoln's won election.

The period following the Civil War was a period of profound change in the South and the North following the end of slavery. For former slaves were in a difficult position following the war they had received their freedom, but not much else. For the freedmen there was a brief belief that freedom would grant them everything that they needed to succeed. They wanted an equality of rights with whites. Frederick Douglass said that “Slavery is not abolished until the black man has the ballot” (Foner 89). African-Americans wanted these rights to guarantee their status as citizens who would not be dominated by their former Confederate neighbors. Former slaves as also wanted land to work on under their own terms. “To the former slaves, the war with

The Civil War was a conflict that helped shape America to become the country it is today. Though its foundation and origination are debated, historians agree that it was deadlier for Americans than the American Revolution, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam War. The North and South differed in many aspects, slavery being the most controversial. The South’s persistency and “free-labor” ideology, contrasted with the North’s attempts to stop its spread into their own region. Such mass destruction and casualties derived from conflicting issues that only grew as time went on, and with no room for compromises, war was irrepressible.
