McCulloch v. Maryland

The Ku Klux Klan was able to use violence with impunity because; some people agreed with their beliefs, laws were not enforced upon them, and people were scared of retaliation. One of the reasons the KKK were able to do whatever they want, is because people agreed with them. “They shot one very bad Negro.” Some southerners liked what the KKK was accomplishing but they didn’t like the violence that came with it. Southern whites didn’t like the idea of African Americans being equal with them.…

The reason why the United States fought in a Civil War was due to the North and the South not being able to reach an agreement on which states should become slave states and which would remain free states. This Disagreement was caused by the United States gaining several new states and territories from the Mexican American war and the South fearing that the North would vote to ban slavery for good. The Civil War was also caused by fights that broke out in the new states and territories between…

Delaware is a state located in the Northeastern region of the United States. It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, to the northeast by New Jersey, and to the north by Pennsylvania.

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.

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…
