Civil War Events

Soldiers of the American Civil War were overwhelmed by a time where weaponry and technological developments were thriving. This brutal war changed the soldiers, both mentally and physically, and continued to have an impact throughout their entire lives. There were not only many deaths during the war, but also prior to the war as many soldiers took their own life. They would experience disturbing thoughts and events in their mind that could not be explained until they became known as mental illnesses. The exploration of psychological disorders following the Civil War improved medical diagnostic tools and the way patients were treated which transformed the treatment of mental illness by creating new ways of discovering illnesses, treating patients, and developing the foundation for the future of psychology throughout America.

Bleeding Kansas is used to describe the violence during the settling of Kansas territories. It was series of confrontations between the pro-slaves and anti-slavery.

The 1850 's were a turbulent time in American history. The North and South were seeing total different views on the issue of slavery. The North saw slavery as immoral and that it was unconstitutional. The south on the other hand saw slavery as their right. The South viewed African Americans as lower human beings which justified slavery. "The 1850 's was a time of attempted compromise when compromise was no longer possible." This quote best describes this time period, because Americans were trying to compromise their views to prevent a large conflict, but there were many events which made a compromise impossible.

Bleeding Kansas was when two political parties confronted each other in a violent way. This fight was about slavery happening in the United states, the two parties were “anti-slavery Free-Staters (North)” and the “Pro-slavery forces (South)” (Wikipedia). Settlers had to decide whether they wanted slavery to keep going on or if they want it to stop.

Bleeding Kansas was a period in time filled with violence during the settling of the Kansas territory. It was a small war fought between proslavery and antislavery for control of the Kansas territory. “In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory and instead, using the principle of popular sovereignty, decreed that the residents would determine whether the area became a free state or a slave state.” (Bleeding Kansas, A&E Television Networks, 2009) People all around came together to try to influence the decision on whether the state should be proslavery or a free state. Unfortunately, it took the turn for the worst with brutal violence. Blood was being shed all across Kansas. It contributed to the political storm that occurred throughout the United States before the Civil War came in to play.

The Civil War was the bloody climax of the fight over slavery between the North and the South. Three crucial things that led to the Civil War were the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska act, and “Bloody Kansas.”

Bleeding Kansas is the period of violence during the settling of Kansas. The Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the Missouri compromise and instead used popular sovereignty. Free-state and proslavery settlers rushed into Kansas hoping to influence their opinions and ideas into the state's decision. Soon violence attacks started to occur. Including John Brown's raid on Harper’s Ferry.

The main event that led to the civil war was slavery.This can be seen in the Dred Scott vs. Sandford case in 1857.Also in bleeding Kansas in 1856.all of these events had everything to do with slavery in the North or South

Slavery, The Compromise of 1850, and Bleeding Kansas all had huge effects in leading to the Civil War. Slavery is an obvious reason that the Civil War begun, the Civil War was about freeing the slaves throughout the United States. Secondly The Compromise of 1850 was also a reason it began because it upset the South. This compromised stated that the South could no longer expand making more slave states. Although it did stop the South from it also put a fugitive slave law into effect which meant all slaves in the North that had escaped had to be returned. They made this law because the North was trying to avoid war which obviously didn’t work the way they intended it too. Then lastly Bleeding Kansas also had an effect because it was the Civil

There were many events that led to both the separation which led to the civil war and the civil war itself. The one of the first issues that aroused was the fact of Kansas and Nebraska becoming a state. This would not have been so bad but some people insisted that Kansas was to be slave and other that it should no allow slaves. That overall led to a divide in both Kansas and in the court. After this new laws were made.

Many events led up to the United States launching into the Civil War. One of the events that started the threat of the southern secession was California being admitted to the Union as a free state. The next event was the formation of antislavery parties. The next event was the event that sparked the Civil War and caused it to begin. This was the election of Abraham Lincoln as president. The south thought that with Lincoln as their president that they would have no say so the only choice they had was to secede.

There were many events that led to the Civil War. One event was the Fugitive Slave Act which was apart of the Compromise of 1850. It declared that if anyone helped a fugitive slave, they would be fined or imprisoned. This event helped lead to the Civil War because it angered many Northerners and caused them to disobey.

The collapse of the Union in 1861 leading to the Civil War was the consequence of major events of the 1850s. Following these events was the secession of the southern states where slavery was supported, and slavery had been a historical problem before the war. The secession of the southern states could not been avoided because the North and the South could not come up with a compromise. The South knew that the North wanted to end slavery and the South wanted slavery because it was their way of life. Eventually, the United State had to face the fatal Civil War, the darkest period in American history.

During the 1850s, slavery had become a topic of great discussion, especially when it came to the organization of new territories, and whether slavery should be allowed or prohibited in these new territories. Some argued that slavery was right, while others though it was not and should be ended, causing fear and anger between the free-states in the North and the Southern Slave states. This would lead to many problems for the nation. These problems not only created a division between the northern and southern states, it caused blood to be spilled and led to beginning of the American Civil War. Within these events, four significant ones created the spark needed to start the Civil War. These events were the Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854, Bleeding Kansas, Harper’s Ferry Raid, and the Secession of the South from the Union, which created a division between northern and southern states and made the American Civil War inevitable.

In 1861, a horrific war began. Nobody had any idea that this war would become the deadliest war in American history. It wasn’t a regular war, it was a civil war opposing the Union in the North and the Confederate States in the South.. The Civil War cost many people’s lives on the battlefield and beyond. In addition it cost an extreme amount of money for the nation which possibly could have been avoided if the war had turned to happen a little differently.
