North: The strategies and goals of the North were much different than that of the South. Northerners simply wanted to reunite the Union. The North decided to cut off as many supplies to the South as they could. There was not trade between the two, and the North shut down their ports. So, not only could they not trade with the North, they also couldn’t get their cotton to Europe. They also took control of the Mississippi River. South: Southern slave owners wanted a separate nations free from the oppression of slavery. They wanted to prepare and wait for the North to attack. They planned to weaken the northern army however it backfired and since they couldn’t trade cotton with Europe, they thought Europe would help them. Europe had other
The Southern states wanted to keep slavery yet, the North, wanted to stop the expansion of it and above all, abolish slavery. For example, in document three it states, “These Republicans claim the right to make a code of laws for the South, not only in the States, but in the territories, which shall control or prohibit slavery… If Lincoln were President… The Union would be endangered from that hour.” In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president. One of his many plans was to cut off the expansion of slavery. Obviously, when he ended up going through with his plan, the South did not respond kindly. Their response was rebelling from the North. The only way they could have kept slavery was if they seceded. In addition, a quote that backs up his hatred towards slavery, Lincoln states, “we deny the authority of congress… to give legal existence to slavery in any territory of the United States.” Clearly, Lincoln was against slavery. He believed that it was unconstitutional and planned to get rid of it once he became president. In conclusion, the Election of 1860 was the final reason for the South seceding from the
The south wanted slavery mainly because they wanted to be able to have workers but not have to pay them. This way the South could make more money to either buy more slaves, more land and be able to pay their taxes. The North didn't like how the South didn't have to pay workers and the North did. Therefore the south felt as if their economy would not survive without it.
The North had a higher population than the South, more ports, and stronger industries such as factory and railroad industries. The North was consequently more industrialized than the South. As a result to this, the South had to rely on the North. The North had to rely on the South as well because the South produced most of the cotton, which was in high demand in the North. The two opposing sides had to rely on each other economically.
Plot is defined as, "the authors arrangement of incidents in a story it is the organizing principle that controls the controls the order of events (Meyer,64)." The element of plot is heavily relied on in the short story, "The Killings" by Andre Dubus. The plot which is completely made inside the imagination of an author (Meyer,64), gives the audience important insight to people, places, and events in the story (Meyer,64) . "The Killings" provides a somewhat conventional plot pattern, where the character is confronted with a problem and is then led into a climax, which late leads to the resolution of the story (Meyer,65). The conventional plot is easy to follow and serves as a basis for movies and other
In the North, unlike in the South, people road the railroad on a regular basis, because they had thousands of miles of track laid out. People in the North were also able to ride aboard steam boats. This was an advantage to those in the North because they were able to ship goods to places and receive them efficiently and semi cheaply. In the South, horseback and covered wagons were the common mode of transportation. This was a major disadvantage to the many cotton growers in the South. With the south supplying 75 percent of the worlds cotton( Teach us history.org) at this time transporting cotton was difficult.Some of these economical differences also lead to political
Slavery and its future were intense issues that led to the disruption of the union. The dispute lead to succession, and succession brought about a war. The Northern and Western states and territories were fighting in order to preserve the union while the South fought in order to establish a confederation of states under its own constitution where slavery would not be questioned. The South was agriculturally based. They used slaves to tend to their large plantations and perform jobs that nobody would do. Though only a small portion of the southern population owned slaves, slavery was interwoven into the economy of the south. They could be used to pay off debts or rented or traded. The amount of slaves a person owned contributed to their social position as well as bestowed upon them respect from other southerners. Since slaves were seen as property, they represented
The North had an industrial economy, and the South concentrated on a farming economy. This created many issues over what tariffs should be placed on. The South wanted tariffs to be placed on farming goods such as cotton,
During this time, both regions wanted to enlarge their lands, though they had different motivations. The South wanted to expand fast and take slaves with them for the growth of cotton since it was profitable. In other words, they wanted to protect the survival of cotton crops and to go on with the system of slaves in new territories. The North, however, wanted to
Southerners were basically farmers who made their living of agriculture, architecture, so they needed to tend the land they owned. To be able to maintain their crops they needed labor as well as slaves. If slaves were banned in the south the southern economy would drop because the lack of labor and the trade market of slaves would drop as well. Slavery existed for primary labor. Southerners claimed that the federal government was not allowed to stop them from having slavery; the issue of slavery became one of the main issues, because it was the most certain issue of the time. The slavery issue came to the front of laws later, and many in the south were discussing the possibility of freeing the slaves on their own. The north, which was controlled by radical republicans, was pushing for the abolition of slavery. Northerners aided the escape of runaway slaves, which was a constitutional violation that made a fugitive from one state a fugitive of every state. Slavery in the beginning existed in every state, and the writers of the Constitution avoided addressing the issue of conserving or ending slavery in order to obtain ratification from all states. When Americans acclaimed victory in the Mexican War, which resulted in the US expanding its territory from Texas all the way to the Pacific Ocean, the question of whether or not to permit slavery in the new territories was later issued. The
Slavery was one of the main factors sending the north and south into a raging war. There was more to than just slavery being abolished. Slavery being abolished to the south was like the government was taking abilities and money from them. Thus making them feel as if they were being done wrong. Also a majority of southerners were plantation owners needing slaves to work the farms so they could earn
The North and South were very different from each other. Industrialization was happening in the North, while large-scale cotton planting was happening in the South. The South sold their crops to England in exchange for inexpensive factory-made goods produced in Europe. As a result of industrialization, Northern Factories began producing many of the goods that were already being produced in Europe. Thus, the North started to tax the South on any goods imported from Europe, so that the South would buy goods from the North. These unfair taxes angered the South, and contributed largely to its anti-North attitude (Civil War
The driving factors for the exploration were New Mexico having silver and riches as well as religious advantages. Spaniards thought that occupying New Mexico would keep their rivals away because they thought there was a water passage. The impact of Spanish exploration on Native Americans was negative. Many tribes endured violence and raids, so some more aggressive tribes would attack first. The Apache’s would go in and kill Spaniards that were trying to settle and in return, Spaniards would have slave raids.
The North’s actions of abolishing slavery and enacting tariffs caused the South to fight in hopes of preserving their way of life and economy. Plantations in the South were only successful because of slavery. Without the slaves helping them create the abundance of cotton, the South would have no economy. The country’s economy would be greatly altered if slavery was eliminated both from a consumer and producer perspective. When the North did announce that they wanted to completely eradicate slavery, the South was taken aback due to the fact that the whole country would not function without slavery and the cotton produced. The North wanted the South to industrialize but the South replied “… we must ever continue to be, wholly dependent upon agriculture and commerce (South Caroline Protest Against the Tariff of 1828).” The climate in the South did not allow for the same industrialization to occur as it did in the North. Plantations and their productions of cash crops were booming in the South and the northern frontier was too small of a market, therefore leading them to sell to foreign countries. This caused the North to enact tariffs and in order to prevent the South from being too successful and lose them as a market. The North ended up petrifying the Southerners into fighting a war in order to preserve their way of life and thriving economy.
Unlike the Confederate South, the North decided to not utilize slave labor like the South did because their economy did not call for farming that required large amounts of labor for rapid production. The Union also decided to not utilize slave labor because slave labor was against many of the northerner’s morals. Since the North was industrialized and they manufactured goods, they had to compete with other manufactures overseas. To demolish competition from the imported goods from overseas, the northerners demanded high tariffs on the imported goods so that more people will buy the manufactured goods from the North instead of the now more expensive imported goods from overseas. The
There has been various titles that Donald Trump held over the span of his life. Trump’s titles of celebrity, billionaire, innovator, constructor, reality star, and many other names, but the most surprising by far is Trump: The leader of the Republican Party for presidency. In June 2015, Donald Trump shocked the nation as he officially declared he was running for President of the United States. Trump’s announcement was initially viewed as a publicity stunt, but in July, the polls took an inconceivable turn as Trump climbed to the top of the Republican polls. Trump has never given up the lead since, and in the process, Trump amassed a cult following of disgruntled Americans who genuinely believe in Trump. He draws thousands of people into sold-out
