The Civil War was a major event that had happened, and was started by many different ways. This was taken place during 1840’s to the 1860’s. Controversy over the extension of slavery into western territories did contribute to the coming of the Civil War. Even though there were other contributions of the coming of the Civil War, the extension of slavery into western territories contributed to the Civil War were mainly politically, economically and socially. Extension of slavery into western territories in contributing into the coming of the civil war can be broken down politically, economically and socially. Politically, there were many causes of this, especially when it came to elections. Politically there were many elections and people who contributed in the extension of slavery into the western territories, as well with other things. In 1845, Congress votes joint resolution to annex Texas. Texas then accepts the annexation. After this the Wilmot Proviso was introduced. This was Dispute over whether any Mexican territory that America won during the Mexican War should be free or a slave territory. A representative named David Wilmot introduced an amendment stating that any territory acquired from Mexico would be free. This amendment passed the House twice, but failed to ever pass in Senate. The "Wilmot Proviso", as it became known as, became a symbol of how intense dispute over slavery was in the U.S. In 1848, Zachary Taylor was then elected president. With this the following year California seeks admission to the Union as a free state. Election of 1852 was a major event that happened. Franklin Pierce, who was a democrat, made national politics an arena where sectional and cultural differences over slavery were fought. Then later on in the Election of 1856 there were different views about slavery. James Buchanan was a democrat who was “Kansas-less” because of an appointment in London. John C. Fermont, was a republican who was against the extension of slavery. In

    The Civil War in 1861 was the outcome of built up tension due to segregation in the Northern and Southern regions of the United States. From 1789 to 1860, the conflict of slavery gained attention of whether or not the act was ethical. Although many argue the Civil War was caused by infringement on the states’ rights, it was mainly because of incongruence in the actions of the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive branches on slavery that led to the Civil War. Legislative Branch The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 allowed for the acquisition of a large expansion of land.…

    Without slavery, the south would have had drastic declines in cotton production, which in turn would have cost them millions of dollars. The second causes of the Civil War was defining when state governments had rights, and when the federal government could overrule the states. This issue has been apparent ever since the victory in the American Revolution. But it becomes more apparent in the years before the start of the Civil War. After the Dred Scott decision was made, many anti-slavery states were angry that the federal government didn’t respect their laws against slavery.…

    Our stimulus for Unit 1, From Page to Stage: is ‘Our Day Out’ by playwright Willy Russell. We are using the straight version published in 1987 for our stimulus. In the play ‘Our Day Out’ I will be playing Mrs Kay and David will be playing Mr Briggs. We have kept Mrs Kay and Mr Briggs the same gender as Russell intended because Russell’s states that the reason Mrs Kay seems liberal is partly due to her gender – this then contrasts to Briggs’ stern male figure. We have Henry multi-rolling as the driver and Colin, Olivia multi rolling as Headmistress and Carol, Alana multi-rolling as Andrews and Karen and Max take on all the Kid lines as Maurice. In the play Mrs Kay's character hasn't been developed in a way that implies I have to play her in a certain way, so this gives me the opportunity to develop the character. I did that in a variety of different ways. One of them being the 'hot seat' activity. This activity allowed me to connect with the character in a way that meant I could round her, give her some history and meaning to her friendly and understanding attitude towards the children. This then gave me the opportunity to write a character profile for her, explaining in depth why she is like she is. We also completed an exercise in which we devised a scene of Mrs Kay in her childhood and showed the way it links to her currant life now. Our group made a piece highlighting the fact that Mrs Kay is continually told she will never become anything when she is older, causing her to prioritise fun over learning, causing her to have low attainment and lack of belief in the children. This supports Russell's intentions stated near the end of the play. 'Most of them were rejects the day they were born'.…

    The Civil War was a life-changing event which both tore yet at the same time strengthened the young United States. Weaken or strengthen, the Civil War is "responsible for defining the nation as we know it" (Publisher's Bindings Online). Thus, it is one of the most "written-about war in history" (Publisher's Bindings Online). The Civil War was caused by a domino effect of events that started over a dispute over slavery between the North and South. Though slavery was not the only reason the Civil War was fought, it was a prominent underlying reason.…

    On April 16th, 1963, Martin Luther King Junior wrote one of the most memorable letters in the history of Civil Rights movement. He did so while being imprisoned in Alabama. On the fourth day of his incarceration, he produced the most beautiful prose I have ever read, in order to deliver a convincing and righteous message. Four days before the letter was written, King, and many other civil rights protestors, were arrested for failing to obtain a permit for a parade. They were arrested while participating in a peaceful demonstration referred to as the “Birmingham Campaign.” In his letter, King states that he was compelled to “bring the gospel of freedom” wherever injustice exists. The campaign was mainly designed to bring attention to the awful treatment blacks were experiencing within the city of Birmingham, Alabama. This was Martin Luther King’s thirteenth arrest and probably most “important” one, as well.…

    In our daily lives we often compare and contrast two or more items. We might compare and contrast family members, TV shows, or favorite bands. The comparison and contrast pattern of organization is also common in many college textbooks. It is used to discuss ways in which two or more items are the same and how they differ.Signal WordsExample #1Here’s a short reading that demonstrates the compare and contrast pattern. Notice the comparison words in italics and the contrast words in bold.My family consists of four siblings, my two sisters, my brother, and I. Growing up, we didn’t always get along, but today, my sisters are my best friends. Both sisters are loyal to a fault, dedicated workers, and extroverted. If either of us ever has problems, we know we can rely on each other. I once broke down in the middle of the night hundreds of miles from home. I called first one and then the other sister. They not only returned my call, but they rode together to help me get home. This caring behavior also extends to their work. Although they work in different fields, they are similarly loyal to the companies for whom they work at a time when many people hop from one job to the next. My sister Trudy has been in banking at the same firm for over 10 years. In contrast, my younger sister, Terri, works in health care. Still, she has been with the same company for over 20 years. Both sisters are friendly and they are magnets for new people. The youngest prefers small parties at low key work events, unlike my sister Trudy, who throws large parties and coordinates elegant dinner parties and events.Because we are familiar with comparing and contrasting people and items in our daily lives, we can recognize this brief paragraph as a comparison/contrast between two people. What are their similarities?Comparison signal words from this passage include: both, also, similarly, and still. The two sisters are compared because they…
