Brady v. Maryland

The Northern and Southern parts of the United States settled along different ways. The South remained mostly agricultural economy while the North developed more and more industrialized. Different social cultures and political views established. All of this led to problems such as taxes, tariffs and states rights against federal rights. The main problem that led to the collapse of the union was the discussion over the future of slavery. That argument led to separation between states, and…

The North and South have always followed different paths and by the mid 1800’s the differences were even more pronounced. The North was becoming more industrial, dedicated to immigration, free labor and supported a federal government. Slavery was not common in the North and it was even banned in some states. The South’s agricultural economy was founded on slavery and cotton and they supported a government that allowed states to make their own rules. Southerners viewed the North and their views…

Why the South Seceded
By: Nate Holbus Why did the south secede? The southern states decided to secede for a variety of different reasons. Some of the reasons include Abraham Lincoln’s election, the Tariff of 1828, the Dred Scott decision, the Nat Turner rebellion and much more. In my opinion, the confederate states all seceded for peace and separation, because of the great difference in convention. Even though this is a portion of the entire Civil War, these are some of the most important…

During the course of American history there have been many famous and infamous events, many of which I would like to view in person. If I could go back in time to visit one of these events I would choose to witness the effects Abraham Lincoln had during the American Civil War. I would go to this time period because of the different opinions it stirred and the huge separation in America it lead to. The Civil War began in 1861 when the confederate states of America bombed Fort Sumter. The…

As the American Civil War built up, tensions grew between pro-slavery and non-slavery groups. In fact, slavery was one of the main causes of the Civil War. Along with slavery, there were very many issues that had led to the Civil War, such as the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and John Brown’s Raid on Harper’s Ferry. These three conflicts were some of the main contributors to the Civil War, and sparked one of the bloodiest battles in history. On March 20th, 1852,…

Between the years 1800 and 1850, the United states formed a strong union, even though the North and South had a few differences that they still needed to work on. During those years, both the North and South established strong economies, which meant the differences were becoming more dangerous for the union. It was hard to agree on things in the nation, they basically split the them down the middle. As the nation got bigger, the people wondered how each side would turn out. The Economy of the…

Slavery was one of the major problems in the U.S., and throughout the world. Slavery started in 1619. Northern abolitionists were pushing for the western territories to come in as free states rather than slave states. The South's entire economy was based on slavery. Slavery was used on huge plantations mostly. It had developed from 1700 to 1860 that slaves made the difference between the southern planters being rich or poor. The south believed in states' rights rather than a strong central…

Who really knows what caused the Civil War? Could it be westward expansion or different cultures? There are many reasons that could have collaborated together to put the nation at war. The three main causes of the war are slavery, distinction within the North and the South, and the election of Abraham Lincoln. Why would there be peace with a nation that’s divided into two that are the complete opposite of each other? One conflict that slowly rose in the U.S. within a few years was the economic…

In the 1984 Baltimore County Master Plan two large developments were created based off of the creation of Interstate 795 and 95. One development, White Marsh, is located on the eastern side of the county and the other Owings Mills, is located in the northwestern section. Both of these developments were similar and were located near the highways and public transit systems but slightly different because luxury tenants were occupying the Owings Mills Mall. The Owings Mills and White Marsh…
