Brady v. Maryland

There were a handful of differences between the North and South.

Some of theses opinions are the idea that colored people should not be able to marry between races, vote, and the idea that people of color will always be considered inferior. In America’s history,…

At its core, the Civil War was not about slavery. It was truly about a disagreement over how much power the Federal government should have over the states and their citizens. Slavery was a very important issue that displayed this dispute. The other root cause of the Civil War is in human psychology. We have a tendency, when tasked with a stressful decision where both choices have consequences, to avoid making a choice as any and all backlash from the lack of a decision is not seen as our fault.…

The civil was a major part of American history which determined what kind of nation it would become. While the revolution created the United States the Civil War was going to decide whether the nation was going to be a confederation or an individual nation.

The economies of the regions were extremely different from each other. Each region also had very different political views on how the country should function. These differences caused conflict that would lead to the Civil War. Socializing was very different in the North in comparison to the South. The reform movements…

Compare and Contrasting of the North and Southern United States at a very transformative time during the 1800’s to 1850’s. The new devolving economy in the Western Territories will be heavily influenced by the fermenting conflicts between the North and South.
