Ken's Burn Civil War Video (What I learned)

The civil war took place in 10000 places and more than three million people participated in it. Three percent of the population died in it. It made some rich and others poor. Women were second class citizens, and Lincoln became the president. Harriet tuman wanted forbid slavery in Washington, but Southerners asked for a more efficient fugitive slave law. Slaves were maltreated and sometimes executed them when they were found. Therefore Harriet started the Underground Railroad which helped get slaves to the north and free them. The underground railroad was a series of safe houses stations where a slave went to hide and the next day the slave would go other 20 km to reach another safe house until the slave reached the north. It was rare for a slave to arrive to the north they were generally caught and punished.

Northern vs. Southern Advantages

North

South

More than 2 times as much railroad tracks as the South, which made movement of troops, food, and supplies quicker and easier. Twice as many factories as the South, so the union was better able to produce the guns, ammunition, shoes, and other army items. More money in their banks, this lead to a better economy. Already had a functioning government with a small army & navy. 2/3 of the nation's men population lived in the Union states which provided more men in the Union army, while allowing for a sufficent labor force to remain behind for farm and factory work.

Most of the nation's military colleges were in the South. Majority of the nation's trained officers were Southerners and sided with the Confederacy. Southern army didn't need to start any military action to win the war. All they needed was to keep a defensive position and avoid getting beaten. ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE: They felt that they were fighting to preserve their way of life, and they believed, their right to self-government.

The Abolists and their Actions

Frederick Douglas was a past slave in Maryland, and fortunately was successful at the escape from slavery. He was a black abolitionist leader in America during the 19th Century, and was a friend to Abraham Lincoln. He presented a case to the American public for freeing slaves in his newspaper called The North Star. He was the first person to give his view liberty for slavery. He fouded the anitsavery pulication Frederick Douglass' Paper. He proposed for the African Americans to fight for the Union Army, and take part in it. He was the first African American to be nominated for Vice-Presidency.

Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was born into slavery in Maryland and successul escaped that suffering environment. After her escape she became a strong fighter for aboltion and women's suffrage. Known for "The Moses of Her People" she worked on helping other slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad.

William Lloyd Garrison

Events and their Significance to the Civil War

Compromise of the 1850:

What?:
The Compromise of 1850 was a plan that was created by Clay of Kentucky. This man created five laws that were passed, two which favored antislaves and two which favored proslaves.


Significance to the civil war:
It is important because one of the bills said that popular sovereignty was allowed and this caused disputes between the north and the south, because the north wanted states to becom antislaves and the south wanted states to become proslaves. Thus, the Compromise of 1850 was one of the components that led to civil war.


Kansas-Nebraska Act

What?:
The Kansas-Nebraska Act was an act that was created by Senator Stephan Douglas which called for the formation of two new territories, Kansas and Nebraska. This act stated that popular sovereignty was permitted for the people in these territories. This means they could decide wether they wanted slavery or not. This repeled the Missouri Compromise since it was north of the 36° 30' N and they were contradicting the boundary between slaves &free territories. Douglas knew it would please the Southerners since they would expect N&K to become slave states. And it would please Northerners since they'd think that it would be a slave state because of the Missouri Compomise rule. Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act and this angered the Northern Democrats.


Significance to the civil war:
This was significant to the civil war because it caused one itself. This is because there was conflict between two groups in the same country, the proslaves and the antislaves. Kansas was recognized as a slave state even though most of its population was antislave. Therefore, there was conflict within the country between the people who were for Kansas to be a slave state and the others who weren't.

Presidential Election of 1860

What?:
Slavery started to be an overall dilemma in the presidential campaign. Since this problem was still unsolvable a presidential election had to take place and deal with this.
The Democratic Party took place in Charleston, South Carolina in April 1860 to nominate its candidate for president. The party broke into two, the Northern Democrats who were for protection of slavery in territoies, and the Sounthern Democrats who wanted to go by popular sovereignty. Delegates from eight southern states decided to meet seperately and decided to nominate their own candidate. Eventually Southerners chose John C. Breckinridge who was for expansion of slavery in territories, and the Northerners chose Stephen Douglas of Illinois who supported popular soverignty.
The moderate Southerners formed their own new party. They chose John Bell of Tenessee, a moderate slaveholder, as their presidential nominee. While the Repubilcan Party assembled in Chicago and elected Abraham Lincoln as their presidential nominee. Lincoln demonstrated a firm attitude against the spread of slavery with reasonable views on slavery itslef.
In the South it was between Breckinridge and Bell, and in the North it was between Lincoln and Douglas. Lincoln won every free state except for New Jersey which he split with Douglas. Breckinridge won North Carolina, Arkansas, Delaware, Maryland and the states of Lower South. Bell carried Tenesse, Kentucky, and Virginia. Douglas took Missouri.
Lincoln won presidency without getting one electoral vote from the South. While gaining 39% of the popular vote, Lincoln had won the majorty of votes he needed to win (180). His was a important victory, but a sectional one.

Significance to the civil war:
This is significant to the civil war because the Southerners were so angry about Lincoln's Presidential victory without any southern electoral votes. The South decided to leave the Union and the following month the civil war started.

Situations compromise wouldn't work

Teenager's life:

Compromise wouldnt work if a muslim teenager asks his/her parents if he/she could have sexual relationships. Compromise wouldn't work because in this case it is forbidden by the muslim religion. One cannot negotiate with his/her parents when God is the one who gave these strict and unchangable rules. In this case one should stay a virgin until marriage.

International Political Situation:

In an international situation there would be no compromise for the US citizens to travel wherever they wish with no passports only with their ID card to prove they are US citizens. This is because it is discrimination it demonstrates that US citizens have more rights than any other non- US citizen. It is not fair to the others therefore, this will create chaos and disorder in the countries. There will eventually be a revolution if this happens. This is why there is no negotiation for this to occur.

Immigration After University

I would immigrate back to my native country which in this case is Morocco, and I will start working with my father in business.
Using ESPRAT+G I would immigrate to Morocco due to economic, religious, social, and geographical purposes. Economic because I will come here to work with my father on importation and exportation of goods as well as other business aspects. This will help me build up financially. Also, Morocco is not a very expensive country and the Moroccan DH is not high. So, it is more affordable for me.
Religiously because in Morocco there is Islam, and opposed from other Arab countries it is open to any believer. In Morocco Islam is not strict and doesn't need to be followed letter by letter. People are free to believe watever they wish to believe. In addition, muslims are accepted well in Morocco, there is no racism against them considering the fact that it is an Arab country. I also want to be in Morocco to keep my religious and cultural aspects and to pass them down to the upcoming generation.
Socially because my family is here and other Moroccan who I know really well. It is easier for me to interact with them in terms of business and other components. Also, the people here will understand me better because they come from the same country as me and it is easier for them to comprehend my situation.
Geographically because Morocco is located near to the continent of Europe. Therefore, if anything urgent happens and it requires for me to travel to Europe or anything it is close by. The climate here is reasonable it is not very cold in winters and not dying hot in summers. It is a good climate to live in. This means I will not stuggle with dealing with climate problems.
