In November 1866, Johnson started to tour all over the east and Midwest to get tons of supporters. He wanted to show everyone that he was worthy of something. His northern campaign wasn’t going so well, he was making everything ten times worse by trading insults and stating that the radicals were traitors and after that all his supporters that he had gotten started so see his lack in performance. The radicals then accused Johnson of being a traitor aiming to turn the country over to former rebels

Many people believe the confederate flag is something of negative value when actually it represents the freedom and personality of the south. All southerners know we are considered “redneck hillbillies” When in reality our actions are just different from those of the north, and west. The confederate flag that we know today was not actually the flag that represents the CSA (Confederate States of America) instead one similar to the USA with 7 stars and 2 red stripes one white. Of course this flag

The Civil War was one of the most difficult and trying times during American history. The war ended with the the Union and Confederate states torn apart over one major issue: slavery. With the end of the Civil War came the end of slavery in the United States. Although the former black slaves were now free, they had no land and very few rights, and most did not even have family. Though out reconstruction, blacks were able to gain rights, but were continuously repressed by the white Southerners. The

Through 1861-1865 AMerica went into the civil war. In this self battle it was the North against the South because Southern states wanted to leave the Union. The Southern states decided to secede because the North had a bigger population, did not want slavery to continue, and President Lincoln’s election. Southern states seceded from the Union because they wanted slavery. “Many Northerners viewed slavery as wrong. Abolitionists wanted to end slavery and some helped slaves escape to the north” (Doc

As United States citizens take a jump back into reasonably recent history, it is guaranteed that one will find elements of slavery in the southern states. Slavery, something many people frown on in this day an age, looked a little different back some 150 years ago. This was a major part of the southern colonies’ government and wasn’t the sure cause of the American Civil War. Moreover, slavery is how their entire economy ran, with black people working on mega plantations, picking cotton, making clothing

“Look back, to slavery, to suffrage to integration and one thing is clear. Fashions in bigotry come and go. The right thing lasts,” according to Anna Quindlen, an American writer. Everyone should be able to do things without having restrictions and regulations, or being mistreated. Back in the 1860s, slavery still occurred and Blacks wanted to be free individuals and not be beaten or abusive by a master. The problem with this is that during this time period Blacks were not seeing as equal as a white

Lincoln is the epitome and walking illustration of what qualities a leader should hold, and execute in any position of life. These qualities should be adopted by everyone, especially those of us in AVID. Leadership is the building blocks of a great education, career, nay an amazing life. Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, and so he had knowledge of the presidency, but not instructions on how to bring a nation split into two, one. However, he trusted his intuition and created

The question that has been asked in our discussion post this week is it our opinion that the Civil War was inevitable? After reviewing, several reasons brought the North and South to battle during the Civil War which played a large part in the way our economic and political structure is today. A few of those reasons included slavery, distinctive economic interests, and the breakdown within the political parties (Alchin, 2016). While learning about the facts of each side, the North seemed to advance

While it is common knowledge that slavery was a central issue to the Civil War, a misconception exists concerning the motivations of high-ranking members of the Union. The Civil War was not a conflict between good and evil; the Union did not hold the moral high ground when it came to their beliefs concerning the plight of African Americans during this time period. Through examination of personal writings, comments, and formal documents attributed to Union leaders, the circumstances leading to the

because all the South needed to do was survive until the citizen’s of the North got upset with the war and lost the will to fight. Lee’s plan to invade the North was to invade the Maryland which remained loyal to the union and get a crushing blow in union territory. He was also hoping that some dissenting slave owners in Maryland would join the Southern forces to help fight the North in this battle. Unfortunately for Lee, when those that dissented saw the condition that his men were
