The events that comes to mind when most of people talk about the U.S history are the Civil War and the Reconstruction. The Civil War was the turning point in the U.S history, while the Reconstruction brought order out of chaos of the Civil War. After all these, the U.S grows rapidly and becomes a superpower today. From my perspective, the most important cause of the Civil War is the conflict between the northern capitalism economy and the sourthern plantation economy. And the Reconstruction did spread

Slavery was the backbone of the American economy for much of the 19th century. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney created a surge in the need for slavery in America. The cotton gin was created by Whitney to actually decrease the need for slaves by separating the cotton seeds from the cotton but, his invention only rapidly increased the demand for slaves. Even the anti-slavery advocates participated in the popularity and demand for slavery. Slavery is indescribably horrendous. The horrors

It was her right eye, Mr. Finch. I remember now, she was bunged up on that side of her face. . . .” (Lee, p.283) This means that the attacker must have led with the left hand. Interestingly enough, Tom Robinson's left hand was torn off in a cotton gin. That means that he couldn't have hit her on the right side unless he was striking from an awkward angle which is very unlikely. Bob Ewell however, is left handed and the evidence is already pointing twirls him as guilty. Bob Ewell is an alcoholic and

point of exhaustion. She then remonstrated on the state of weather we are having, and my lack of a good woman to take care of me. After being marched to the parlour fire, she sat me down and plied me with two or three mulled gins. By that time, what with her bluster, the gin and my fever, I must have fallen into a deep sleep; for I awoke many hours

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

Inventions of the Industrial Revolution The Industrial Revolution was a period between the 18th and 19th centuries where countries in Europe and America changed from agriculture to industrial societies. Born in Britain, the Industrial Revolution took a while to make it to America. Access to plenty of coal and iron gave Britain a good foundation to start the Industrial Revolution. Many inventions and discoveries changed manufacturing from being done by individuals in homes to teams of people in big

In a stuffy courtroom during the summer of 1935 located in a simple Southern town, a lawyer stands ready to defend his client. However, in this trial the lawyer, Atticus, has a rough road ahead of him since he must defend a black man; in front of a white jury. Plus, he must break down the jury’s mindset established in the pre-Civil War ideas. He does not hesitate for a second but delivers a profound and moving speech which sears itself into the audience’s brains. Regrettably, this speech does not

Recently I studied two poems with the same theme, “Lucozade “By Jackie Kay and “Visiting Hour “ By Norman McCaig. Both poets talk about death and by using a word set they create a mental image of what is happening and this reminds me of times were I had to visit loved ones and how emotional it was. The poem “Lucozade” was written by Jackie Kay, it is about a girl visiting her mother in a hospital before she passes away. The poem talks about death but does so in a humorous way, making jokes and poking

At this time we have more slaves than what we know what to do with down towards the south, and slavery really took off when we invented one machine, the Cotton Gin. What the cotton gin would do is basically we put the cotton in it pulls the seeds out and gives us usable cotton. Since we have a machine so great let's get slaves to do the work for us. So now plantations and farms are getting almost overrun with slaves. We
