INTRO: In spite of the fact that the Civil War was a period of racist beliefs and segregation, Newton Knight held solid to what he believed was correct. In his eyes, everyone was equal. He stood firm in beliefs for slaves by gathering and leading a huge rebellious group who were gathering to battle for what they all believed was right. It caused a huge conflict along with the already existing one due to the civil war, but it made a huge impact in the end. The arguments lead to the formation of the Free State of Jones where all slaves got to be distinctly equivalent and free, simply like every other person. Many were happy about this, and many were not. But Newton held strong in his opinions of what he thought was morally right. Even though

The Other Civil War If we read deep into Zinn's A Peoples history of the United States, we may find details into our American DNA. Where and what we originally come from, what it took to get here, and how far we have progressed. While uncovering many chapters in the book, I found myself going back for more of Chapter 10: The Other Civil War. As for myself, I was never aware of another Civil War, only familiarizing myself with one. As I was reading these historical pages and awing at my founders and leaders before me, I found myself as engaged I have ever been in a historical novel. Zinn opened my eyes as a non-historical junky. Reading Zinn I found myself remembering one of the greatest quotes by George Santayana, "Those who do not

“The attempts in the Reconstruction period 1865 to 1877 to solve problems caused by the Civil War failed African American.” To what extent do you agree with this statement?

After injury comes recovery. That is the process of the Reconstruction; the Confederate states had to be readmitted into the Union after the end of the Civil War. The Civil War itself was largely caused by the question of whether slavery would be allowed in newly established westward states. The Union was anti-slavery and came victorious over the pro-slavery Confederacy. However, African-Americans still did not fully have equal rights after the Civil War, and several amendments, including the 13th and 15th Amendment, were instituted to repair this issue. However, the 13th and 15th Amendment did not accomplish the task of fully extending rights to blacks, as black codes successfully suppressed the freedom given by the 13th Amendment, and poll

The Civil War The North and South had many different weaknesses and strengths at the beginning of the Civil War in 1861. This essay will compare the political, economic, social and military strengths and weaknesses of the North and South at the beginning of the Civil War. There were many reasons for the War of the States to be fought including, but not limited to slavery, separation of states, the Constitution, and the way of life.

The Civil War During both the civil war and civil war reconstruction time periods, there were many changes going on in the Union.  The Emancipation Proclamation, as well as legislation such as the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, was causing a new awakening of democracy; while the renouncing of secession by the South marked a definite triumph for Nationalism.  As well, the government was involved in altercations of its own.  During reconstruction, the legislative and executive branches eventually came to blows over the use of power.  The nation was being altered by forces which caused, and later repaired, a broken Union. The first of these "forces", was the expansion of democracy.  As early as 1862, Congress and the president began dueling over power distribution starting at about the time of Andrew Johnson 's presidency.  Johnson became president after Lincoln 's death and immediately set the tone for the rest of his

After bloody grinding battles at The Wilderness, Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and Petersburg, Grant finally brought Lee to bay at in April 1865. In the meantime, Union armies and river fleets in the war comprised the slave states that were west of the Appalachian Mountain chain that won a long series of victories over strong factions within the Confederate armies. These factions were commanded by insignificant and unlucky Confederate generals.

Examining the Civil War Examining the Civil War A war that originated because the nation was divided ultimately marked the beginning of a truly unified United States. The Civil War put to rest the increasing sectionalism that divided the North, the South, and the newly colonized West. At the root were the issues of slavery in the South, and the attempt of the Southern states to withdraw from the Union. Although many lives and untold millions were lost in personal belongings, livestock, and structures, the Civil War set in motion the progression towards a unified Nation. During the 18th and 19th century, slavery was a very significant aspect of the development of the nation. The economic, social, and political development of the

The Road to Disunion What caused the Civil War? To many, this is a simple question to answer; slavery was the cause of the Civil War. However, there was more than just slavery that led the Union to the Civil War. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was significantly influential to that start of the Civil War because of the hypothetical repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the issues with voting, and Bleeding Kansas.

1865 was a year filled with hardships for the United States. Changes to the constitution were made, businesses formed, and leadership changed. This was also a year of controversy, dealing with racism. The United States’ strength was tested and proved to be strong with the end of the Civil War on April ninth. 1865 was an important year because of the Civil War, economic changes, and politics.

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.
