Independence Movements In Latin America
1 The legacy of the independence movements in South America became a usual pattern among the rebelling countries. Violence and anarchy were the results of these movements, with the native Indians often suffering the worst of the disorder. Often it took years for the broken countries to make stable governments and restore order and happiness.
2. Andrew Jackson, being a frontiersman, believed that white settlers had the right to seize Indian lands. After being pushed out of their lands all the way to Georgia, a deal was made to the Cherokees and Chickasaws, the deal stated that if the Indians would take up white men's ways they wouldn't be forced away from their land again. While some Indians agreed, others went to the supreme court asking for …show more content…
an injunction against Georgia on the grounds that they had no right to break a federal treaty. The court denied their injunction, and Jackson agreed. This case dragged on until the Cherokees eventually surrendered all their land.
3. The siege of the Alamo is significant because it gave enthusiasm to many soldiers, which led to the eventual defeat of the Mexican Army, and the Texas republic which would soon be admitted to the union.

Manifest Destiny is term meaning basically that the expansion of America through the Americas was bound to happen. The Expansionist fever was due to the desire to of the slave states to legalize slavery in empty states and gain power that they were losing in congress due to the rapid growth of the North.

The Mexican men were fearless fighters, however, their generals were very cowardly. On September 13, two divisions climbed up a nearly vertical slope and stormed Mexico City's main fortress. Young Mexican cadets tenaciously defended the city, but they were driven off. The American flag was raised and the War was over.
6. Many Americans were afraid that the rapid increase of Irish immigrants would cost them their jobs because the Irish were willing to work for low incomes. Others believed the Irish to be poor, dirty, and miserable outcasts. And lastly many Americans were still affected by strong anti-Catholic prejudice.
7. The Know-Nothings attacked the church in a various way. In 1855 they took control of the Williamsburg section and almost burned down the Church of St Peter and Paul. They also took control of the polls in Louisville and prevented Catholics from voting. They took control of the schools in Philadelphia and fire all catholic teachers. They burned down 12 Irish homes. And even poured blood onto any Irish attempting to
vote.
8. Lincoln had become one of the most thoughtful anti-slavery leaders. Obviously being an anti-slavery presidential candidate Lincoln wasn't popular among the southern voters and did not receive a single southern vote, also the south threatened to succeed from the Union if the ‘Black Republican' was voted president. Soon South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas all seceded from the union. Lincoln desperately wanted to avoid violence but also knew he would have to take a strong stand. Lincoln refused to recognize the secession of the south or that even a war existed between the nations. He issued a call for 75,000 volunteer soldiers to ‘restore order' in the nation. 9. The Missouri Compromise was adopted in 1820. With the compromise Missouri was admitted as a slave state which was balanced by Maine's admission as a free state, slavery was excluded in the northern Louisiana Territories and was permitted in the southern territories.
10. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was proposed by Stephen Douglas. Douglas proposed that the states should use popular sovereignty to decide their territories issue on slavery instead of using the Missouri Compromise. Congress passed that, however, this was a terrible mistake as the immediate reaction was the flooding of territories to tip the elections to their side. Neither side was afraid of using violence either.
