today we are going to finish up the 8th grade reveiw.
17] Civil War
Differences in state and federal government. south wanted states rights and north wanted a federal govenment. North was more idustrial and south was dependent on agriculture. with the election of lincoln seven states suceeded from the country because they thought he was anti-slavery. the new states couldnt decide if they should allow slavery and Henry Clay decided that the new states should have their own choice. Missouri was a bigger conflict. 3,500,000 states during the war. missouri wanted to be a slave state and then kansas wanted to be non slave states so missouri moved to kansas to try help pass the slave laws. MIssouri compromise of 1850 : anything north of the southern boreder of Missouri was free anything south was slavery. Dred Scott case said that you cannont ban slavery anywhere, you can have slaves where ever you want. a european explorer discoverd Africa but didnt go deeper inland to find the Africans but later other explorers did.
18] advantages of north and south
North: has more people making the army bigger, were more skilled and had more supplies, more forts and weapons and more food, had Lincoln who was a strong leader
South: on their own territory, more experience with weapons and guns, used to the climate
the north overall has the better advantage because they overall have more advantages with their supplies but the south really does have some good advantages as well. the north just has more supplies.
19] effects of reconstruction of the US
Reconstruction : changed the laws and gave Africans more freedom. took place in 1865-1877. needed to get rid of slavery and the civil war. Period of time after the civil war where the south had to be rebuilt : socially, econamically, physically.
Positive : 13 14 15th amendments gave freedom to all the slaves and got a republican leader to uphold the laws and gave them the right to vote. Made Africans US citizens. Amendments are part of the appeal. Blacks were free in the south and north . Freedmans Bureau set up in south to help Africans get an education and find jobs and get a normal life, find a place to stay. in 1872 it was disbanded. Didnt allow white racist people to be in power. Only Anit-Slaves were elected to be in office so it was mainly African Americans and White people of the North, the south was not happy about that.
Negatives: blacks ruled most of the south bad because they couldnt get any democratic parties into the south, more blacks in south than white, White people started killing black people, when the reconstruction ended the white racist people came back into power. KKK started, segregation all that started after that.
