Today we finished up our blog disscussions.
#16 Chelsea Musfelt- Colonists wanted to go West to start a new life, and the East was getting crowded in the towns. A lot of people moved West to farm in the fertile soil and the for the Gold Rush. Mining was big in the West so people were out there for money and a religious group named the Mormons went out there.
#17 Kara Fries- In the 1770s there was a lot of slavery going on and on these big plantations the white man wanted slaves to do a lot of their work. Southeren States were allowed to have slaves and own them. The Mizzouri Comprimise was apart of this slavery issue. Mizzouri was a slave state. Kansas Nebraska Act was to see which state would be a free state and which would be a slave state.
#18 Molly Brown- The North was more industrial than the south, so they had more and better weapons, railroads, more populated, and more food. The North had twice as many states as the South did. The South had a better advantage because most of the battles were on their land, and they had better generals. The South had more determination to win because if they lost they lost their life basically because they lost their slaves. The North had more advantages and the North won the war.
#19- The reconstruction of the South was they had to reconstruct their families, farms, socially, and buildings. African Americans were free so they couldn't read, very few could write, so the big problem was what to do with them. They could learn to read and write, and they could work in the fields for "MONEY." Negatives KKK Developed.
