When he came back with reenforcement, they stood in solidarity against him and his men. People often feel like they can't stand up against their oppressors or to people with power because they don't have resources. One of the most important thing they can do is to get someone to listen. So many movements progressed because they had people who were willing to listen and fight for what they believe in. For example, the Civil Rights

    The battle of Fort Sumpter was important because it motivated the North to gather an army and begin fighting. It was a big mistake of the South not to allow the Union to bring supplies to the fort. Another important conflict was the ship Alabama, made for the Confederacy by Britain. Then Britain bought two battle ships that the South was building, to avoid starting a war with the North and having them invade Canada. The battle of Bull run is important because it led to the South being overconfident in their victory. The Seven Days Battle was significant because it demonstrated to the North and President Lincoln that total war against the South was necessary.…

    The Dred Scott decision was a huge case that went to the supreme court after Dred Scott had won the appeal in a lower court.* It turns out that Dred Scott lost the case because the chief justice at the time ruled in favor of Sanford. (historical context) (Doc 4) Although the Dred Scott decision had an impact on the war it was not as significant as the election of 1860 because it did not immediately cause the start of the Civil War like the election of 1860 did. Others may say that the publishing of Uncle Tom’s Cabin was significant step because it showed many people the horrific life of a slave and convinced many to become abolitionists. (Perspective) (Doc 2) Although this book may have played a factor in the start of the civil war, it was not as significant because it just angered southerners while most northerners were convinced to become abolitionists.* Many people think that these were some of the most significant steps to the Civil War, however I disagree because most of these events just built tension and the event that was really significant and caused the start of the Civil War was the election of…

    When the Mexican War ended, America was ceded western territories. This caused a problem on whether these new territories would be admitted as slave states or free states. To deal with this, Congress passed the Compromise of 1850 which basically made California free and allowed the people to pick in Utah and New Mexico. The ability of a state to decide whether it would allow slavery or not was called popular sovereignty.…

    Think about the causes of success and failure for particular movements. What causes some to become widely appealing and have major impacts on change? What causes others (regardless of the validity of their concerns) to simply wither away in the dustbin of history? Can you think of some that have evolved into stable organizations without much impact on social change? Can you identify others that have become stable enterprises of sorts, constantly selling T-shirts and other emblems without doing much?…

    The Reconstruction period (1865-1877) was the era of rebuilding, the south, after the Civil War. In the South reconstruction meant rebuilding the economy, establishing new state and local governments and establishing a new social structure between whites and blacks. Abolishing slavery, what should be demanded of the Southern states, restoring political rights to the South, and what should be the responsibility of the newly freed slaves were the concerns doing the Reconstruction period. They also wanted to know how the economy should be rebuilt based on free labor. Reconstruction addressed how the eleven seceding states would regain self-government and be reseated in Congress. The laws and constitutional amendments that laid the foundation for…

    If asked, most people would blame as the cause of the civil war the issue of slavery. This is understandable; many people in the U.S. at the time were against slavery, going to far as to help runaway slaves escape to the free north. But, while slavery at face value was a major factor, international politics and economics played a major role. Several factors, including the election of Lincoln, the raid on Harper 's Ferry, the Dred Scott decision, and, most importantly, the fugitive slave law, contributed to the growing rift between the North and South and, eventually, the Civil War.…

    In this reading there were numerous intriguing events that occurred. The four things that I found most interesting was The Emancipation Proclamation, Reconstruction Era, The Depression Year and the need for slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation was issued January 1st, 1863 it declared salves free in certain areas during the civil war. Kinn expressed that “it was a military move, giving the South four months to stop rebelling”. Which is a smart move that Lincoln took just to spare the union by undermining to free their slaves in the south.…

    The battles that took place in the civil war all had a significant impact on the union and the confederates. Many could justify which battles led up to the civil war, but I believe it to be these. The battle of Fort Sumter, first Battle of Bull Run, and the Battle of Gettysburg were the most important battles that took place in the civil war. The Battle of Fort Sumter was a confederate assault on union soldiers holding a Fort near Charleston Harbor.…
