Race relations are a problem that have plagued society for a number of centuries, from Columbus’ poor treatment of the Native Americans, to today’s plentiful race related stereotypes.

The colonies had come to staunchly oppose to the concept of a powerful centralized government. “The conflicts between Great Britain and its American colonies between 1764 and 1775 arose from the efforts of colonial leaders to protect local privileges from the invasion of imperial authorities to impose order on a region they had been created to govern.” During this time period the colonial…

At this time the country was still divided into two where one side benefited from slavery while the other did not. As a result the government was split into two where neither side wanted to allow the other to gain an advantage. By not working together the idea of unity under one government is destroyed by war. As a result the country becomes…
