According to Georgia’s declaration of causes of secession they felt that the “… power in the Federal Government have striven to deprive us of an equal enjoyment of the common Territories of the Republic....” The state of Mississippi stated, “Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery … We follow their footsteps. We embrace the alternative of separation; … we resolve to maintain our rights with the full consciousness of the justice of our course, and the undoubting belief of our ability to maintain it.” Texas declaration of causes said that, “Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated States to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquillity and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people.” Later on the remaining four southern states, Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, joined the Confederates.

The central thesis of this book is that the secession commissioners that were sent Deep South to other slave states in the winter of 1860-1861 played a major role in defending as well as urging people to subscribe to their ideology and follow them out of the Union. This thesis helps in giving insights in the South’s real intention, which can be argued out that it was to defend its slave trade culture that the North was totally against hence the use of secession as a means of convincing people. Even though the historians mostly ignore these men that were involved in the secession, these men played a vital role in the creation of the beautiful country

The recent study of these Northern counties, John R. Lundberg’s article, disputes the prominent narrative for why the North Texas counties voted against secession during the secession referendum. Most historians, for example, Buenger, cite the reasons for voting for or against secession stems from the growing Indian raids on the exposed frontier. Also, Houston’s failure to protect the settlers from those

Throughout history, people have gone to extreme lengths to secure their economic well being. The people in the Southern states were no different in this regard, and for this reason we affirm the resolution that the South was justified to secede from the Union. Before going any farther, we must define key terms in the resolution. The South refers to the 11 states who became the Confederate States of America. The Union was the United States in 1860. Lastly, justified means done for a legitimate reason, in this case in the context of the political and economic circumstances of the time. We support our affirmation with the following contention: that the South’s economic interests were in such danger that they took the only path available to them

Larry Page once said, “Especially in technology, [we] need revolutionary change, not incremental change.” Whether he is speaking about the Transcontinental Railroad system or the latest iPhone, what he says is true. If change is going to happen, it needs to bring a revolution of some kind along with it, otherwise, it will just become lost in history. This makes us wonder, how did the railroad system affect the US? The railroad system benefited the US most economically by industrializing towns it ran through, lowering shipping costs, and allowing for mass imports and exports.

This research assignment goes through the idea of Texas seceding from the United States. The introduction goes through a thorough explanation of the history of Texas and the many difficult challenges the territory had to face in becoming a state. The first idea implemented is how many times Texas has seceded and the reasons for seceding. The next follows information on why Texas would be better off seceding from the United States and why it should have stayed as a Republic. In contrast, the similar idea develops advantages and disadvantages of having Texas seceded from the Union. As a result, it then transitions into another idea, is Texas better off with staying with the United States after all. In that slide it also talks about how the Texas

Finally, the issue of “Bloody Kansas” was a major political factor caused by westward expansion. Once it was resolved that Kansas’s stance on slavery would be determined by popular sovereignty, people flocked to Kansas to make their vote count. The “Border Ruffians” won the controversial vote, which resulted in Kansas being a slave state. However, the abolitionists refused to recognize the pro-slavery government, so they set up a second provincial government in Topeka, Kansas. This episode led to a skirmish between the Ruffians and the abolitionists, like in Lawrence, Kansas in May of 1856. This was a prelude to the actual civil war and showed that even if there was a “fair” vote to determine a Territories slave law, it didn’t mean that all the people would abide by the law. These political episodes involving the ever expanding west showed the weakness of the Union.

Many say that the South seceding was their own choice and that they failed to compromise with the North. The Southern states Seceded because of unfair treatment being forced upon them by the North.

1. Why did the issue of a transcontinental railroad help to reopen the sectional controversy?

In conclusion, the South might have or might not have wanted to secede from the Union. If the South wanted to secede from the Union they were not justified. The reason behind that is just because they had a different way of life doesn’t mean they actually could secede, The South also did not have any good reasons for seceding from the Union. There might be a chance that the South was forced to secede from the North. The North might have been angered that the South had slaves so they pushed the South

This shows that South Carolina had the right to secede because it was a sovereign state. It also shows how the South should have had the right to decide whether they would want to secede from the country or not. Another example is that when the Southern states joined the Union, it was voluntarily (Appleby et.al 556). “Nowhere in the Constitution is there any mention of the union of the states being permanent.” (http:/civilwar.bluegrass.net). This shows that they should have the right to leave the Union if they choose to. They had this right because the South had no bind with the Union stating that they had to stay except for the United States constitution in which the North had already violated. Even though the United States constitution was what they looked at as a contract, the Union already desecrated its’ terms before this dispute. It also shows how the right was their own and the government could not control their choices in staying or not. These reasons and examples show how the South had to right to secede because of various reasons regarding the political state the government was in.

While delegates from different states described their fear of abolition differently, the consensus was quite clear: secession was the only option for southern states who had no doubt that their “right” to own slaves was under attack. In the Apostles of Disunion, the declarations made by the delegates concerning secession are quoted and analyzed. Contrary to what author Charles Dew had been told growing up, these declarations explicitly describe the ways by which the incursion on slavery was the sole purpose of secession, and imply that any infringement on states’ rights was of lesser importance. This notion is validated by the “declaration of causes” given by Texan delegates, the “Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify Secession” given by South Carolinian delegates, and reiterated by Dew’s educated description of the secession conventions.

When envisioning urban public transportation many people commonly picture bus service. In the Bloomington-Normal urban area, the public bus service is Connect Transit, which recently embraced its new name, leaving behind the clunky name Bloomington-Normal Public Transportation System possibly in efforts to rebrand its entire image. The image of public transportation however, may not be able to be rebranded as there seems to be a certain stigma which is affiliated with relying on the bus service as a primary means of transportation. After riding Connect Transit around the cities for even just an hour however, it is easy to see that stigma may well be an issue of race and class, rather than simply utilizing public transportation. “Public transit situates is so that we are given license to accept what’s right in front of us, but will likely arouse our desire to compare our narrative to someone else’s, to give ourselves permission to speculate upon a person’s private space, or life, with no fear of recourse or punishment” (Wilson, 2012). In order to take a deeper look into the barriers that low-income people face, as well as to attempt to learn about how inequality and social stratification are at work in the Bloomington-Normal community, riding the available public transportation allowed for detailed participant observation.

As a dually enrolled high school senior and community college student in San Diego County, I struggle with transportation on a regular basis. Though I live with my parents, I do not have a car and generally feel guilty about using their money for gas, but I need to get out of the house on a regular basis both to get a break from my family and to attend school and various social events. Because of this, I use the MTS on a regular basis and would suggest that all other college students in need of transportation join me in using this fantastic service because it is accessible, comparatively inexpensive, and environmentally friendly.
