Presidential candidates from multiple parties get ready for a campaign across the nation to gain popular support from both the delegates and the people. The presidential candidate not only has to win the popular vote, but also the majority votes in the Electoral College. The Electoral College serves to elect the president and the vice president of the United States. It is a form of indirect election which is opposed by many. Those who oppose the system fear that the Electoral College will allow the possibility of a minority president or a faithless elector, while people who argue in favor of the electoral system believe that Although the Electoral College is archaic and flawed, it is still currently the most sufficient form of election for the President; though changes may be made, it is unlikely that the entire system can be replaced.…

The supposed “silly” thing that was fought over was slavery. Sure, maybe it could’ve been prevented if slavery wasn’t a big part of America, but it certainly was not preventable when it was an economic, political, and social issue. When slavery is the backbone for half of the country's economy and the villain for the other half, there really isn’t a solution to it.…

I was able to be a part of the individual culture of each distinct community while developing an appreciation for the way in which all communities are connected.…
