The War Of The Nineteenth Century

The French and India war was a war that took place in today’s Pittsburgh. The war was both caused by the English and French. The English and the French both felt that they were entitled to land and each was to willing to fight and they were also, willing to go into war so they could prove that they owned the land.

Department stores, Chain stores, and mail order's houses were how retail sales and distribution techniques of the late nineteenth century made goods and conveniences formerly enjoyed by city dwellers available to Americans in small towns and the countryside. Americans no longer had to make their own clothes but, now they had the leisure of picking and buying clothes from a department store. Due to chain stores buying in preparing food had changed. A new industry of packing and selling foods had been invented. The mass production and new development of tin can had inspired an industry of canned foods. Refrigerated railroad cars and iceboxes made it possible for perishable food items to be kept fresh. These developments brought a healthy improvement

The war produced about 1,030,000 casualties, including about 620,000 soldier deaths—two-thirds by disease, and 50,000 civilians. The war accounted for roughly as many American deaths as all American deaths in other U.S. wars combined.

During the 1860s there were many issues and that the Southern and Northern states needed to work on. In 1861 hundreds of thousands of Americans volunteered to fight in the Civil War, also known as the First Modern War. The main causes of this war were the economic and social differences between the North and the South. These differences led to other fundamental issues such as slavery and its abolition. In addition to that as the war was coming to its end, federal authorities found themselves presiding over the transition from slavery to freedom.After the war, there was a 12-year period best known as the Reconstruction and the main goals that it had were to get the Confederate States back into the Union, to rebuilt the Southern economy

The civil war is by far the bloodiest war in American history. In the four deadly years of war, over six-hundred thousand Americans were killed. Many disputes that led to the civil war. These conflicts started under President James Buchanan who was a Democrat elected in the election of 1856. The issue of slavery, states’ rights, the abolitionist movement, the Southern secession, the raid on Harper’s Ferry, the election of Abraham Lincoln all contributed to the start of the civil war. The civil war and its aftermath transformed the entire nation by unifying the United States, abolishing slavery, and led to the American Industrial Revolution.

In the 1820, a war broke out. This war was a big part of the United States. It determined whether or not African Americans would be freed out of slavery. Most people don’t know that they always compromise on something so one side of the nation wouldn't be too strong. The compromise began to fall in 1820-1860. The Civil War started because of the differences of the free and slave states.

A once young Ulysses S. Grant once said, “I do not think there was ever a more wicked war than that waged by the United States on Mexico” (274). The Mexican-American War of 1844-48 was both a controversial and significant part of United States history, yet it’s forgotten by most Americans today. Events such as, the American-Civil War and Spanish-American war overshadows the memory of the Mexican-American War. However without the consequences of the American conflict with Mexico, American history would look significantly different.

The continuously irreconcilable conflicts, especially on slavery, between the South and the North during mid 19th century eventually led to the secession of the State of South Carolina and six other states after the election of Abraham Lincoln. When they felt their interests to be threatened, the white southerners used the secession as a powerful weapon to against emancipating slavery and to protect their own rights. Actually, the disagreements on the future of slavery were the chief reason causing the increasing gap between the South and the North, and there are three primary reasons why the seven southern states chose to secede from the Union after they realized they could not reach a satisfactory conclusion about slavery issues with the northern states.

The Seven Years War in 1763 was an instrumental turning point for the American Colonies. Shortly after the initial excitement of winning the Seven Years War ended, tensions between the American colonies and the British Empire rose. These tensions were largely due to the financial mess that was created by the war, miscommunication, and a struggle for power. The British Empire’s need to regain power over the American colonies and organize the new territories gained by the war served to intensify the tension. These tensions set the stage for the beginning of a new era in the Americas, which led to the Declaration of Independence. Overall, the American Colonies declaring independence from Britain was inevitable and a very logical thing to do.

How do I feel about the Civil Wars? I feel that war is a bad way to handle things. But around the 1800’s everything isn’t the same as it used to be. So, therefore there weren’t many ways to settle things. So, whenever the presidents don’t have the same mind set and they think the other president is talking about the others country they would have war with the other country. And whenever presidents have their disagreements, it doesn’t always end up in a good way. But I think killing it not ever the way to go because that’s not good at all. Now days the War would most likely be different because time has changed since the 1800’s. So whatever they used back in the 1800’s would be different from the things they used in the 2000’s.

The Civil War ,was the worst war in the eighteen hundreds. It put brother against brother, but before the war was worse. there were too many close calls. Some are what brought this monster of war to America, it created a divide that we never fully recovered from. First and largest matter was States rights that they fought for. Now They should be able to secede when ever they wanted, but the Government said they could not secede. So something definitely became amiss in our wonderful Country and that was only strike one, two more major problems and America is out of here.

"The crashing of the shots, the bursting of the shells, the falling of the walls, and the roar of the flames made pandemonium at the fort." Doubleday said after the battle at Fort Sumter. The confederates and the union were fighting over slavery, which took place in the United States of America during the 1800's. It ended well for one of them. The Civil War was a horrible event that started in 1861 and ended in 1865, we are still struggling with the effects of the Civil War today.

The nineteenth century was an era that a lot of memorable history events had happened. Race, place, gender and class have been perpetuated in this century and have influenced the society from then. White people were obviously living better than black people; big cities always offered more opportunities and chances for people to find jobs; males were admittedly getting jobs easier and having higher salaries than females at that time; people who were in the upper class were undoubtedly enjoying more liberty and possessing more social properties than those were in lower class. The Civil War is considered one of the most significant history events that happened in American history. The government abolished the slavery law after the war, which emancipated many black people from being slaves. Also, there were many women going outside and finding jobs on their own. But under these circumstances, there were several events that still had impacts on people at that time and divided people by race, place, gender and class. These included the events of H.H.Holmes and the events of Margnet Garner, which illustrated how and why race, place, gender and class were dividing people and perpetuated in the nineteenth century.

It is hard to deny that the imperialism seen in the late 19th century and early 20th century was merely a continuation of American expansionism from the earlier 19th century. The sentiment toward expansionism and reasons as to why America must expand into the West remain the same when expansion began abroad. When the boundaries of the contiguous United States were all but settled, it was natural for the United States to turn overseas to continue its conquest of new lands. Justifying this was the notion held by expansionists that America had to keep on expanding and it was fated to do so. In the early 19th century, the notion emerges that it was a God given right to expand westward, or the famous “Manifest Destiny;” with so much land to the

The United States of 1812 1840 rode a roller coaster of exciting expansion, deep financial crisis and rising nationalism. American pre-war tendency to explore and assume the West was empowered by the war's end, military bounties, improved transportation and the government's sometimes euphemistic descriptions of the West. The excesses of this "Era of Good Feeling," combined with international and national factors, plunged America into the Panic of 1819, our first national depression. The depth and divisiveness of the Panic of 1819 led to the resurgence of nationalism in which the common citizen distrusted the privileged and demanded increased democratization. Examining each of these notable historical moments, we can see elements of the American character that survives to this day.
