article, and this is your history that you should learn and be appreciative that slavery is gone from our great country. The Civil War was caused by slavery that was wanted in the South, but no wanted in the North. They struggled over the issues of states’ rights. The Underground Railroad allowed Southern slaves to run away to the North and gain freedom. Harriet Tubman wrote Uncle Toom’s Cabin and later

Compromise demonstrates this merely by needing to be created since it was meant to salvage the Union by protecting slavery for the South. Stephens’s speech took a more direct approach by defending slavery as a foundation of society and as a natural state for blacks with whites taking their God given place above them. The first document, The Crittenden Compromise, was a midnight hour attempt to prevent the Union from splitting in two. It presented six articles for amending the Constitution and four

Should Confederate Monuments Be Removed? Confederate monuments are an embarrassment to our country, our citizens, and past soldiers who aren’t being honored in the same way. Day by day these memorials split this country up more and more. None of these monuments were put up after the Civil War they actually started popping up during the Civil Rights Movement. Both of these events are nearly 90 years apart, almost 10 decades! Most monuments began to erect because of The Daughters of Confederacy

Missouri’s nine electoral college votes and three of New Jersey’s seven electoral college votes. John Bell got half the amount of votes Douglas got with only 590,901 popular votes, but won over three times as many electoral college votes with 39 from the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, and

million people in it’s states. Take ⅓ of that population-the men old enough to go to war-and there’s the Northern army. And when you do the same process for the South, they only have 3 million men fighting. Both of these numbers are just estimates, but the numbers are really close, when you realize the size differential between the two armies. A credible source stated, “At the beginning of the war the Northern states had a combined population of 22 million people. The Southern states had a combined population

During the Civil War, Texas fought for the Confederate States of America. For nine years following the Civil War, Texas is in turmoil, as its people attempt to solve political, social, and economic problems produced by the war. One of the major forces that threatens change in the state is the United States Army. Federal troops are there, at least in part, to ensure loyalty to the federal government and to protect the rights of the blacks. To many Texans, the army, most of whom fought for the North

Why did the soldiers fight? While many still debate the ultimate causes of the Civil War, according to the Novel, it gives the perspective of both the Union and Confederate sides. Colonel Chamberlain makes a wonderful speech to the disbanded mutineers, in order to make them fight and join them into battle. Colonel Chamberlain states, “This is free ground. All the way from here to the Pacific Ocean. No man has to bow. No man born to royalty. Here we judge you by what you do, not by what your father

punishment, civil rights, or other goals or combination? In order to reconstruct the South, various policies were developed to reunify the North and South. For the divided nation to prosper, I believe a restored Southern economy, mild treatment to ex-confederates, reduced occupation in the South, and a basic list of requirements for reintegration into the Union are needed. Making punishment or civil rights the goal of reconstruction would only divide the North and the South further exacerbate the situation

When the Civil War started, no one predicted the strenuous effects that it would leave on the two conflicting sides, the Union and the Confederacy. The four year-long affair contained highs and lows for both armies, forcing politics and military aims to become entangled and riddled with conflict. The Union’s victory in the war occurred based off years of hard fought battles and timely legislation, all of which depended on both governments’ readiness to take action against the other, while blurring

The South and the North could not agree with slavery; the North was anti-slavery and the South were pro-slavery. The south considered slaves to be their own personal property and the slaves were not allowed to be counted as a citizen of the United States; they were only considered to be counted as 3/5 of a person. Because slave owners were so harsh to their slaves, the slaves generated many slave rebellions and also conducted the Under Ground Railroad which took them to the north to be free if they
