Confederate Army President Lincoln
1,266 words
The American Civil War was a war of epic
proportion. Never before and not since have so
many Americans died in battle. It was truly tragic
in terms of material losses, financial losses, and
irreplaceable human life. By January of 1865, the
war that started nearly four years earlier was
coming to an end. Federal (Union) armies were
spread throughout the south and the Confederate
Army had shrunk extremely in size. In the year
before, the North had lost an enormous amount of
lives, but had more tha...

Institution Of Slavery Constitution Of The United States
1,247 words
In the United States, the southern states'
economies were mainly based on agriculture, but
not any normal kind of agriculture, they were
based on the agriculture of slave labor. Slavery
was deeply ingrained in the culture, so much that
only a war could stop it. This war was a gruesome
war, made far worse because of the advent of
modern rifles, combined with an ignorance of
advanced military tactics and lack of medical
knowledge. At the time, the method common method
of warfare was to line up on ...

Colonial Era Civil Liberties
1,148 words
Movie Review The colonial history of North
Carolina is filled with numerous outbreaks of
violence, due to independent spirit of people who
lived in this part of America at the time. This is
because it was much harder for colonial
administration to maintain their authority there
then anywhere else, since the area was scarcely
populated, with lack of reliable means of
communication and only a few roads. (1) The Battle
of Alamance many consider as a prelude to American
War for Independence, which b...

American History According to the evidence,
Central American civilization was greatly
influenced by East African culture, specially from
Ethiopia, Kemet, or More. It is believed that one
or more of these civilizations crossed the
Atlantic between 1200 and 400 B. C. Some scholars

Gary Nash have recognized the cultural
amalgamation and inter-mixing of Native Americans
and Europeans or Europeans and Africans.
Nevertheless, few focus on the widespread ...

Rebellions Of African Slaves
1,018 words
Rebellions of African Slaves Through the 17 th, 18
th and 19 th centuries, there were hundreds of
slave rebellions. However, violent rebellions
rarely achieved their goals. Black freedom
fighters most frequently used terror to fight for
their ideas and that might be one of the reasons
why slavery was abolished in the 18 th century. As
history shows, violence is never as effective as
intellectual ways of fighting for a certain idea.
The first slave rebellion of significance occurred
in South Caro...

Kansas Nebraska Act Compromise Of 1850

02 - 23 - 2001 The name Civil War is misleading
because the war was not a class struggle, but a
sectional combat, having its roots in political,
economic, social, and psychological elements. It
has been characterized, in the words of William H.
Seward, as the? irrepressible conflict. ? In
another judgment the Civil War was viewed as
criminally stupid, an unnecessary bloodletting
brought on by arrogant extremists and blundering
politicians. Both views accept the fact that in
