The Columbian Civil War was influenced by cocaine, heroin and marijuana. And World War One was a…

In the Civil War, there was a lot of strengths and weaknesses on each side of the war. Factories and factory workers were one of the most important things in the war. These people gave all the supplies to all of the troops. The railroad mileage was a big factor too. Abraham Lincoln said “I walk slowly, but I never walk backwards”. It means that the economy and war support needs to keep on going forward. It does not need to go all go at once, but it cannot go backwards. Because if it did the…

weak die and the strong survive. The biology of humans leaks into society, influencing their choices every day. Events have occurred, laws have been passed, and wars have even been fought in order to secure safety for men, women, and their nations. However, it does not take away the freedoms of humans. Henry Louis Mencken, American essayist and social critic, believes that the average would sacrifice freedom for safety, which is false. Men and women need to take risks because no risk amounts…

As President Abraham Lincoln cited in a speech, “‘a house divided against itself can not stand’”(Lincoln). This reference to a bible verse, Mark 3:25, characterizes American life in the antebellum era. Leading up to the Civil War, the United States was divided culturally between the North and the South. The main difference between the North and the South was rooted in the institution of slavery. By 1804, all Northern states had abolished slavery within their borders. However, due to the…

With it came the ever-growing…

Chapter one is titled, The Logic of American Politics, and in this chapter a lot is discussed and explained. For example, the midterm election results were mentioned, which was in 2010, and for the Democrats there was no easy way to put that election to them. All President Barack Obama was able to tell the press was to “acknowledge the “shellacking” his party took.” Next was the tax breaks, ending the tax break was simple, Congress had to do nothing.

From reading For Cause and Comrades, I learned about several motivations and reasons that soldiers from the North and the South fought in the Civil War. Overall, the soldiers and their respective sides fought for very similar reasons and motives. Both sides were fighting for their views on slavery, how the states should govern laws, and how the economy should operate. I plan to analyze and compare the motives for the North and the South and show how each side was fighting for remarkably similar…

Jefferson Davis to “save useless effusion of blood” (Winik 317). Usually, when a country is torn apart by a Civil War, there is animosity between the two sides for decades afterward. There was still some bitterness between North and South after Appomattox, but thanks to the example Lee set for the South, the task of reuniting the country was easier and more peaceful. Appomattox was did not end the war but “the spirit of Appomattox” that Lee and Grant created did help the country heal (Winik…
