The Civil War had many causes‚ some of them were long term causes and some of them were immediate causes. The long term causes were the problems that seemed to never be solved between the North and South. Slavery for instance was a long term problem because it was never completely solved; however continuous compromises were made between both sides‚ but the disagreements would not disappear. On the other hand‚ the immediate causes were the problems in which guaranteed that the North and South would

The Civil War and Reconstruction made significant progress towards creating a more equal society. First of all‚ after the Civil War‚ the 13th‚ 14th‚ and 15th Amendments not only freed the enslaved‚ but gave them rights and allowed them to vote. The progress made was incredible and it was really done in a very short amount of time. The enslaved were now able to participate in government‚ work‚ own land‚ etc. We see‚ firstly‚ the 13th Amendment‚ which abolished slavery. Immediately‚ the Amendment

Gardner Civil War & Reconstruction Paper 1 Compromise involves both give and take‚ where both sides involved receive some of what they wanted‚ but neither side fully gets 100 percent of what they wanted.

caused a lot of damage. The Klan put their beliefs into the practice of terrorizing those people they disliked. The KKK group operated throughout the South during the Reconstruction era.

might believe that Reconstruction did not successfully solve the problems of slavery and civil war because the first amendment was violated for African Americans and they were also not allowed to intermarry. In section 2 of Black Codes it states‚” Any freeman‚ free negro...seditious speeches (speaking against government)...may be imprisoned.” This shows that African Americans were not allowed the freedom of speech stated in the first amendment. This proves that the reconstruction did not solve the

Was little rock a success or failure as a civil rights protest? Little rock protest was a success and a failure. I personally think that it was more of a failure then a success. This is because the little nine went through a lot of physical and verbal abuse‚ crowds of white people at different ages would gather to throw stones‚ hit round the head with rolled up newspapers and shout inappropriate words to the nine students‚ this was because they were black and the white popularity did not want
