The war determined whether the United States of America would be a nation with equal rights for everyone or a country that still accepted slavery and allowed people to be treated like they are property instead of people. The topic of slavery brought a lot tension economically and created social barriers for communicating with other individuals and groups between the North and the South. The North was industrialized and had a firm economy while the South relied heavily on slaves for their economy. The United States became a country that was divided into three groups when the Civil War began. The first group was made up of people who believed in abolishing slavery, the second group was made up of people who

The Civil War arose over the idea of freeing African American slaves. This became controversial between white southerners and white northerners because southerners wanted to keep the confederacy and maintain the slaves, as northerners wanted to keep the Union free. In order to defeat this war against the Confederates, President Abraham Lincoln acquired a few more states to fight under the Union. In fear of losing the states that he obtained Lincoln selected only white men to fight in the war. Even though that was the case African American men were still dedicated and motivated to fight in the war because they supported Unions logic (Section 11).

“Civil War” historians have had prolonged debates on how the civil began, most say slavery was the leading cause. African Americans have been enslaved since 1619 when a Dutch ship brought 20 of them ashore in the British colony of Jamestown, Virginia. From then on slavery was practiced throughout American Colonies. As time went on people soon started to have arguments dealing with the rights and wrongs of slavery which led to protests, violence and war. The Dutch had started a slavery system that turned into a type of cruelty that divided the nation. Slavery has had a great impact in start and end of the civil war between the South and North.

History Net Where History Comes Alive World US History Online. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Jan. 2016.) The south knw that they had to do something about Lincoln, but they were collectivly unsure of what to do. There would be many assassination attemps on Lincoln and many of them would fail. One, however did not fail as Lincoln was shot in the back of the head at Ford's Theater, by a man named John Wilkes Booth. Luckily for the people of America, this was after slavery was banned. As the south knew that banning slavery would be Lincolns plan, this was another big reason as to why they would engage in war with the north.

Three score years ago, a young boy growing up in Confederate South witnessed and remembers to this day the face of General Robert E. Lee when the Confederate States fell. It had not only gave the boy resentment for what will happen to the future of the south, but it had also taught the boy how struggle and hard work might not always pay off ¹. That boy stands here today in the presence of the new Princeton generation, ready to pass the baton of this nation on the future generation of workers and thinkers². We as people are not here merely to make a living. We are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. We are here to enrich the world, and we impoverish yourself if we forget the

The American Civil War made a lot of different impacts, from agriculture to infrastructure, new innovations in medicines to deadly diseases, everyone had a role to play.

This fire sparked a hand full of people to help slaves gain back their freedom, this caused them to confront

The American Civil War was a time wrought with peril. Families were split along party lines and took up arms against one another to fight for what they believed was right. Yet there was one group of people who had more to gain than any other present in the war, and that was the African American slave.

African Americans were a very important addition to the American Civil War such as fighting and spying for both the north and the south sides. The American Civil War was a war fought in the United States between the North and South states. The war was from 1861-1865 and was because the South wanted to establish itself as a separate nation. The northern states were called the Union and the southern states were called the Confederate. Between the north and south states were the Border States, which did not belong to either of the sides. The Border States included Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. In the north, slavery did not exist but the south was the opposite. In the war, the north and south states fought against each other while the Border States were neutral. Before the war and during the war, African Americans were treated very unfairly compared to white people. This essay will examine how African Americans were treated before, during and after the Civil War.

In Abraham Lincoln’s Lyceum speech given in 1838, he instructs the audience how perpetuate our political institutions. How do we keep our country united? “The answer is simple. Let every American, every lover of liberty…swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others.” But what about bad or unjust laws? “[I]f they exist, [they]should be repealed as soon as possible, still while they continue in force, for the sake of example, they should be religiously observed.”

Long ago there lived our founders who, on this soil, built this glorious country, born from justice and committed to follow the belief that every man is born equal. At this moment in time, our great nation is engulfed in the flames of internal warfare that is between the states, verifying if this country, or other countries founded on and committed to the same principles, may survive. I called all of you here to gather on the land where a battle from this conflict took place. To the fallen soldiers who laid down their lives so that this country will strive, we devote a section of this land as their burial. Doing this in honor of these men is only right and just. However, when you think about it, it is not possible for us to devote, bless, or

I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more. Penniless, and at the end of my supply of the drug which alone makes life endurable, I can bear the torture no longer; and shall cast myself from this garret window into the squalid street below. Do not think from my slavery to morphine that I am a weakling or a degenerate. When you have read these hastily scrawled pages you may guess, though never fully realise, why it is that I must have forgetfulness or death.
