I believe the civil war was necessary. Without it we may have never taken the necessary steps to achieve freedom for the slaves. The southerns would never have given up there ways of life peacefully. There are many events of the time period that support my claim. The first example is the caning of Charles Summner. This is when Preston Brooks‚ a pro-slavery southern senator‚ attacked and beat Charles Sumner on the senate floor. This was after Brooks gave an Anti-slavery speech. The speech

leading up to the Vietnam War‚ many factors lead to American interference. For example‚ the policy of Containment proposed by George Kennan allowed Communism to continue existing‚ but aimed to prevent it from spreading.

The article I chose to write about is Muhammad Ali refusing to get drafted in the Vietnam war. This of course affected his career tremendously in a very negative way but also had a few positives to it also. In March of 1966 Ali was drafted to go serve the United States in Vietnam but he said that since he was a black Muslim he was a conscientious objector. He spoke us how the people of Vietnam have done nothing wrong to him like racial slurs‚ the never shot at him‚ nor did they do anything bad to

Opposition of The Vietnam War The Vietnam war: deadly‚ fatal‚ and unsuccessful. The United State’s involvement in the Vietnam War was one of the most irreconcilable mistakes in history. The vast devastation of the war was magnified by the amount of money wasted‚ the lack of public support‚ and also the foreign warfare.
