The value of freedom ultimately has been and can still be seen now as contradicting with slavery and oppression, thus liberty and slavery countering each other became more and more evident in American history between 1607 and 1800. One of the first evidences of…

The founders of the United States created a new nation on the idea and principal of rule by the people. 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…

a major factor to the start of the Civil War. Before the commencement of the Civil War slavery became a large topic of debate as well as political power. 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…

The Civil War and Reconstruction had far-reaching results in terms of race relations in the United States. After the Civil war in 1862 several legislations were passed to help the freed slaves.
