How was imperialism negative and positive to both the US & the countries concerned.

It is better to use an advanced search than a regular google search because it is more detailed and has more efficient sites. It is not such a great idea to do a regular google search because you can find results that are not about your specific topic. With advanced search you can be sure to have the topic that you are researching about. It is better to find info from a book or from an online encyclopedia because their information is more reliable unlike some random sites that come up when doing a normal google search.

Life in the Trenches

Dear Parents,

In this moment I am writing to you from the trenches. Life here is horrendous. The trenches are about 210 cm at the top and 100 cm at the bottom, which is uncomfortably narrow. We are in complete discomfort and tension. There are so many men living in a very constrained space. Scraps of discarded food, empty tins, and other wastes are all over. The dirt of living underground and not being able to wash for days or weeks creates conditions of severe health and military risks. Pests including rats and lice are very numerous. The rats are cat size. Diseases are spread both by them and by the worms and flies that prosper on the nearby remains of decomposing human and animal flesh.

In winter it is very cold, and the trenches flood sometimes to waist height. Men suffer from exposure, frostbite, trench foot (a wasting disease of the flesh caused by the foot being wet and cold, constrained in boots, for days on end, that would cripple a man), and many diseases brought on or made worse by living in such conditions.

I hope that I will be able to surpass this dreadful life in the trenches, and succeed. I am looking forward to coming back home and meeting all the family. Pray for the best and let God do the rest.

Best Regards,

John Smith

P.S: Say hello to everyone and tell them that I miss them very much.

"TYPICAL PROBLEM, TYPICAL RESOLUTION"

A typical problem in a teenager’s life is fighting obesity. The “alternative” solution for this is smoking. This has a potential effectiveness because smoking cuts the appetite. After smoking one does not have the appetite to eat. Therefore, this is effective to become skinny. However, smoking has many side effects to it, for instance, lung cancer and other terrible diseases. To prevent a teenager from using smoking as a solution to obesity we have to identify alternative solutions. Starting a diet, and doing sports is one of them. One can remain healthier this way. One can follow a program that includes the cleansing of the liver, which usually stores the fat for you. After the liver cleanse one can start eating normally. These alternatives will prevent sicknesses from smoking.

Progressive Thinker

Being a progressive thinker is favoring or implementing social reform, or new liberal ideas.

The issues, social concerns, changes etc. that progressive people, politicians, etc. find important in today's world is the economic crisis. This issue affects everyone globally. The people in a high social class almost all went down by one class due to this dilemma. There is an increase of unemployment and poverty during this moment. There are high inflation rates, and this results people to go out of money. They cannot afford what they usually afforded in the past. This major dilemma is a global issue that needs to be resolved before it causes greater depression.

To resolve this problem a progressive thinker would say that loans are not allowed anymore. This is because some banks went bankrupt due to this issue. There were way too many loans and everyone wanted to take their money back from the banks. This was impossible because not all the money is available.

A secure path should be made for money that is sent overseas.

The government should take care of the people in need of money. They should provide a cheap health care. This is because due to the crisis some people cannot afford medicine and health care.

The rich people need to support the poor during this period of crisis. It will be mandatory for each to give away at least $10 per day. This will help the poverty survive and go through this depression.

LATTER 1800s: WHEN IMPERIALISM DOMINATED!

http://pkonweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/US-imperialism7400.jpg

Imperialism is the policy of extending a country’s power and influence through diplomacy or military force. It has many pros and cons to it. Different people are affected differently due to imperialism, some positively others negatively.

Causes of imperialism in the USA in the latter 1800s were various. There were people promoting economic growth and the expansion of the national markets overseas. They argued that America was undergoing an economic depression because of the overproduction of goods that was too much for only the USA to consume. Many business leaders thought that this problem would be resolved only by expansion of markets. In addition, annexation of land permitted the USA to come closer to other countries, which made trade facilities easier and less costly.

Militarily, people supported imperialism for the American expanded navy. They argued that this large navy had to be present to support to the nation’s markets abroad. They basically wanted to protect overseas trade.

Preserving American spirit was another factor that lead to imperialism. This is because some people were afraid that the USA was loosing its strength. “Worried that the closing of the frontier would sap the nation’s energy, they argued that a quest for an empire might restore the country’s pioneer spirit.”(356) Prentice Hall American Pathways to the Present. These people took the excuse of Social Darwinism to takeover new territories. Social Darwinists believed that it was the nation’s destiny to takeover land and expand their own religion (in this case Christianity). At this time there was cultural superiority.

Imperialism was well demonstrated in the USA in the latter 1800s. For instance, the USA fought for Cuba’s independence from Spain. In return they demanded for their ships to be kept on the Cuban coast. They did the same with the Philippine’s tricking them into thinking they were here to support them when they were actually helping them for their own benefit. On the other hand, they annexed Hawaii using the USA’s world trade protection as their main argument to support them. In 1898, Congress approved the Hawaii annexation.

The Panama Canal and the open door policy are other examples of imperialism. A $10 million payment was given to the Panamanians in return for the 10-mile strip of land for a Canal Zone over which the USA would have complete sovereignty. The Panama Canal made a shorter route between the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean. This connection between two oceans made global shipping much faster and cheaper. It would also allow the US Navy to move faster overseas in times of war. On the other hand, the open door policy was a policy that was made between America and China. This policy allowed foreign countries in to take part of the national local markets. This means that the USA opened its markets in China, which helped expand its economy overseas.

The effects of imperialism on the USA and other countries in the latter 1800s were numerous. The USA thought they were becoming superior to others after annexation. This created more competition between countries. The USA thought that it was their Manifest Destiny to have imperialism causing them to look forward to annexation. Unfortunately, there was inequality and racism in the annexed territories. The national markets didn’t work as well as they worked before. This is because the USA provided a broad choice in the national markets due to open door policy or annexation. This was a positive for the USA because they expanded their economy. However, this was a negative for the local market’s business because the consumers were taking the best choice, which was usually found in the American markets. This is exactly what happened to China with the open door policy that allowed the USA to participate in the national markets.

Imperialism is beneficial for the American economic expansion and opportunities. The expansion of the markets overseas allowed them to have high economic benefits. They could have their ships in the ports of a specific country. This means that the navy was growing which would reinforce the military force for not only the market protection but also for the USA protection itself. The USA had military that were ready to act anytime and quickly (using the Panama Canal) overseas.

Unfortunately, imperialism wasn’t as beneficial for the USA as was for the other countries. This is because imperialism caused racism and inequality due to the feeling of cultural superiority in the USA. The national local markets were highly affected because the USA took part in them, which wasn’t beneficial to the country that was annexed or that was allowing foreign countries to get involved in their local markets. This is because the USA had a broad choice of products, which caused the consumers to buy from the US markets instead of their own national markets. This means that the USA brought an economic competition to the countries and because it was strong its markets would always gain more money than the national local markets. Though imperialism dominated, it affected other countries negatively.

Though the positives were only beneficial to the USA they didn’t outweigh the negatives because there was way too much negatives for it to be outweighed. People who were colonized were suffering consequences of the imperialism, some economically others socially. Many countries were in crisis at the time of imperialism while the USA was at benefit because it could spread its industries overseas. This increased competition and since the USA was stronger it always defeated the others economy. On the whole, the positives of imperialism were too little to outweigh the negatives.

Globalisation

GLOBALISATION: This is the encouraging of economic interdependence between countries. This involves technological advancements and a demand of labor.

Pros

1. International trade made people wealthy and gave them diverse lifestyles.
2. Telecommunications: Internet etc.or consumers and avowed capitalists this is a good thing because more choice of products was provided due to trade. This causes greater spending, rising living standards and a growth in international travel.
3. Allowed people to know better about other cultures.
4. This makes Democracy successful over autocracy

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/711906.stm

1. Enhances economic opportunities especially in developing countries.
2. More efficient allocation of resources.
3. Lower prices, more employment, higher output and living conditions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization

1. Competition makes production more efficient.
2. Greenpeace is against because it destroys the environment.

http://www.investorwords.com/2182/globalization.html

Cons

1. Raising more problems than it solves.
2. International Markets could deliver:
3. Misery, Unemployment, Poverty
4. Meager share of global income of the poorest people dropped from 2.3% to 1.4% lines overseas to low-wage economies.
5. National cultures and identities are also under threat thanks to the spread of satellites TV.
6. The environment is being effected with the pollution that is emitted from factories of multiple industries that were built all at once.
7. Corporate power is restricting individual freedom.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/711906.stm

1. Environmental degradation
2. Lowered quality of life to those who have not been adapted to the change.
3. Free trade is negative for poorer countries as they try to conserve national markets.
4. Wealthy companies offer high salaries for more working hours with unsafe working conditions
5. Weaker labor unions because their membership begins to decline.
6. A country that experiencing increases in labor demand because of globalization and an increase the demand for goods produced by children, will experience greater a demand for child labor.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization

1. Not all people can compete against the increasing competitive pressure.
2. Connectivity of world’s international markets and trade.

http://www.investorwords.com/2182/globalization.html

1. Offer to have a trade regime that is suitable for everyone as well as the environment. (Compromise where everyone agrees and nobody is affected.)

Sea Wheel Automobiles Company

Dear Mr. Buffet,

This is the new Sea Wheels Automobiles Company, and we would like to inform you that this company is going to help the future of our environment become a better future. Our planet is in danger today because of pollution. One of the major polluters are automobiles. Therefore, the SWA decided to create a company that will help reduce vehicle combustion. We did this by creating a very special car

that works with hydroelectric energy. This vehicle has wheels to go on the road as well as skies to go on water. This means our company created a 2 in 1 vehicle that will not only try to replace vehicles but also boats. We will try to give an opportunity to wealthy countries to try our car and then we will see its affect on the environment.

Now that I am a millionaire I will try to make a special change in the environment. I will change the lives of humans by adding this special vehicle in their daily lives. I will try to make this car the most affordable possible. This will give an opportunity to the middle class society and high class society to both contribute in buying this product. The SWA will help prevent the increasing of global warming and its impact on the environment.

STOP COMBUSTION!!

BUY SWA!!

WHAT?:

• · Name of Company: SWA (Sea Wheels Automobiles)
• · Products of Company: Car that goes on land as well as water
• · Horizontal Nature of the Company (Explain each segment and where it is located): The shape of the car will be done in the steel factory. After it has it's parts it will be sent to the glass factory to have windows and the rubber company will make the skies and the wheels that would permit the car to go on water(skies) and on the ground(wheels). The plastic factory will be in charge of the materials inside the car's engine. The leather company will be in charge of the seats inside the car, and all other components. After all the materials are ready, they will be gathered by SWA and our company ensemble them.
• · Vertical Nature of the Company (Explain each segment and where it is located): Our company is in charge of all the products. We make the form with the steel in our company, same as the glass windows and rubber and plastic. We buy from others all the raw materials needed and we do it with out making anyone participate. We work on different things at a time.
• · Energy (Explain where each segment gets its energy whether for offices or manufacturing): Hydroelectric energy for manufacturing.
• · Raw Materials- Resources (used to create the products): Glass, steel, rubber, plastic, Leather
• · Labor (who will be your workers at each location- what is your payment plan- what is your healthcare plan (if you have one) etc.): My workers are going to be experienced car workers because this vehicle will be able to go on the ground as well as on water. I will take 5% of my earnings and I will pay the workers with that. Or else I will make a compromise with them.
• · Government and Regulations (how will you work with the government and its regulations upon you): I will tell the government that i will start the exhibit in the International Car Fair; and if people are highly interested in it then we will start selling it. There will be insurance if any accidents happen etc.
• · Profits (Explain to Mr. Buffet how you will make profits): I will make my profits through the insurance that people pay and the selling of cars. I will add 30% to the actual cost that I paid to make the car.

Socratic Seminar

In the socratic seminar the participants started debating about facts that each one says. They started talking like if they were at court. I liked the way each person defended his/her ideas. Our teacher helped the dialog forward by asking us more question to reflect on. He gave us more complex situations to think about rather than the simple examples that we gave. When there was disagreement between two people the seminar would lapse into a debate/discussion.

Fortunately, the group was very mature in handling this because they took turns sharing their ideas and supporting them with details. There was almost no interruption in the seminar. People were listened too most often. Jehanne Aghzadi and Yousra Bouftas dominated the conversation because they knew a lot about the cause and effects of societies and they did further research to learn more about them. This means they had true facts that they based their ideas on. Though Jehanne and Yousra somehow dominated the conversation there was no interference of why they talked a lot and said what they said. They were listened to very well.

Evidence that I saw of people building up on other's ideas is that they didn't repeat what someone else said. They listened well to other people's ideas and developed them by giving new accurate suggestions. My understanding of each EQ has changed after listening to what people said in the seminar because they had great facts that influenced my ideas. This lead me to think and reflect differently on each EQ. Some of my opinions were changed by real life situations that the people in the seminar gave as examples. They strongly supported their ideas and this is what lead my to change various of my opinions.

The best part of the seminar was when you won the argument with your good supportive reasons. You felt smart after that. The worst part of the seminar is that we were sitting in the sun and it was getting too HOT because some of us were wearing black. This made it hard for us to concentrate. What I would like to do differently as a participant the next time I am in a seminar is to have the questions that we will talk about before hand in order to investigate furthermore on them specifically.

Current Event: Haiti Disaster

On the 12th of January 2010, an earthquake stuck Haiti with a magnitude of 7.0. This was a deadly earthquake that caused numerous deaths, and destruction of houses and infrastructure. Fully eighty percent of the haiti population lives under the poverty line. Three million survivors are affected and will require emergency aid. Emergency aid is required because Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and therefore cannot afford healthcare. Emergency aid is given by the help of all countries around the world who are sending medicine and covers for the poor population.

This is politically important because other countries get to help Haiti and in the future Haiti will support them when they are in need of support. This is exactly why Morocco is helping Haiti when it has many starving and poor people on the streets in need of the same care as the people in Haiti.

Reconstructon Successes & Failures

　

Successes

1. Union is restored.
2. The South's economy grows and new wealth is created in the North.
3. Fouteenth and Fifteenth amendements guarantee African Ameican the rights of citizensship, equal protection under the law, and suffrage.
4. Freedmen's Bureau and other organizations help many black families obtain housing jobs and schooling.
5. Southern states adopt a system of madatory education.

Failures

1. Many white southerners remain bitter toward the federal government and Republican Party.
2. The South is slow to industrialize.
3. After federal troops are withdrawn, southern state government and terrorist organizations effectively deny African Americans the right to vote.
4. Many black and white southerners remain caught in a cycle of poverty.
5. Racist attitudes toward African Americans continue, in both North and South.

I disagree with the compromise of 1877 because President Hayes getting rid of the federal troops in the South was not advantageous to the African Americans. This is because the federal troops were the ones who defended them and made oppositions to give them their rights.

However, I do noit disagree with it completely because the southerners were going to regain their politics, and have new railroads. This will enhance their economy. Furthermore, this ended the Reconstruction. This is a significant change because the Reconstruction was mainly between the white southerners and the freed slaves. Fortunately, this ended and the thirteenth and fifteenth amendments remains and guaranteed African Americans the rights of citizenship, equal protection under the law, and suffargae. This means the white southerners couldn't try to treat them poorly because now they were equal!

Congressional Reconstitution

Johnson's Reconstruction Plan:
His plan was to pardon the southerners who swore allegiance to the Union. He allowed each state to hold a constitutional convention. The states were required to recognize the secession as not being valid. Then the states could hold elections and join the Union.

Black Codes:
Black codes were laws that restricted freedman's rights. They established virtual slavery with laws such as these:

1. Black people had curfews and they could not meet after sunset.
2. Freedmen with no work could be fined, whipped or sold for a year's labor.
3. Freedmen had to sign a contract in January for a year of work. Those who quite in the middle of the contract lost the wages they had earned.
4. Freedmen could only rent land or homes in rural area. Otherwise they were forced to live on plantations, which most of them did.

14th Amendment:

It said that all the people born in the USA are citizens of the USA and of the State where they reside. No state can make or enforce any law which will put down the priviliges of citizens of the USA; nor can any state stop any person from living, liberty, or property, without any process from the law; nor deny to any person within its juridiction the equal protection of laws.

15th Amendment:

It stated that no citizen could be stopped to vote "by the USA or by any State no matter the race, color or previous condition servitude."

Radical Reconstitution:

A small group of Radical Republicans saw themselves as moderates (someone who supports the mainstream views of the party, not the more extreme positions). They disagreed with Johnson's Reconstruction policies, black codes, and favored the expansion of the republican party in the South. They wanted to give African Americans their civil rights, such as voting and equal treatment.

Carpetbagger:

The Northern Republicans who moved to the South after the war were known as the carpetbaggers. The southerners gave them this insulting name which referred to them as a cheap suitcase made of carpet rags. This name meant that the northerners had taken a few clothes put them in a carpet bag and ran to the south to take advantage of the southern misery, so they can prosper.

Scalawags:

Southerners had an insulting name for the white southern Republicans as well which was the scalawags. This was a word meaning "scrawny cattle." Some scalawags were passed Whigs who had opposed secession. Some we small farmers who resented the planter class. Still others were former planters. Overall most of the scalawags were poor, but not all.

Newspaper: Reconstruction of the South

When the freed slaves went back to their homes they weren't expected by their families. Most of their families were hopeless and moved. Therefore, most of them ended up homeless, jobless, and afamished. From these some decided to continue working in their previous slave plantations and others decided to look for their families. There weren't many family reunions, but many joyful reunions did occur.

The South was completely destroyed. Two thirds of its shipping industry was destroyed. Almost all its farming economy was devoured, as well as roads. Factories, ports, and cities lay smoldering. The value of southern farm property had decreased by about 70%. There were countless men and young ones that died. Children became orphans, and brides became widows.

The South had three major groups of people after the war: The black southerners, plantation owners, and poor white southerners. The black southerners were starting their new lives in poor economic situations. The plantation owners lost their slave labor worth $3 billion, and the poor white southerners couldn't find jobs because of the new job competition from freedmen.

Though Lincoln created a reconstruction plan it was useless because he was dead. Now that the Vice President, Andrew Johnson took over he slightly modified the reconstituton plan:
1. It pardoned southerners who swore allegiance to the Union.
2. It permitted each state to hold a constitutional convention (without Lincoln's 10% allegiance requirement).
3. States were required to void secession, abolish slavery, and repudiate the Confederate debt.
He didn't include the pardons to all Confederate leaders but he gave them to those who asked for it personally. In 1865 alone, he pardoned 13,000 southerners.

Freed people wanted the federal government to give them the land that slaves were entitled and cleared for generations. In 1865, Union general William Sherman set up a land distribution experiment in South Carolina. He divided the taken coastal lands into 40 acre plots and distibuted them to the black families. Unfortunately, this didn't last for long because President Johnson eventually returned most of the land to its original owners, forcing the freedmen out.

Nearly 90% of black adults were illliterate because most southern states had banned education to slaves. Now freed slaves really wanted to learn and have education. White teachers went to the south to start schools, thirty African American colleges were made, and some taught themselves and one another.

A Freedmen's Bureau was created to help southerners adjust to freedom, prior to Lincoln's death. Itpovded clothing, medical supplies, and millions of meals to both black and white war refugees. More than 250,000 African Americans recieved their education from bureau schools.

Effects of War

War keeps people from obtaining food and water:

• This causes starvation and thirst.
• Thirst can cause people to drink from dirty places and get sick.
• This then causes the spread of diseases.
• Which then causes a high deathrate.

War causes people's families to have to go to battle & they do :

• This then gets many families to separate from each other and die, which causes many miseries.
• This can cause the destructed families to start chaos and theft in the country because they have no place to stay or no family to stay with.
• High death rate/ Decrease of population.

War causes destuction of houses and it is hard to rebuild:

• This causes people to stay without houses, which can cause them to freeze to death in winter situations.
• High Death Rate

War causes people to feel unsafe in their homes:

• This causes people to rebel and start fighting against each other because they have no government to keep them safe.
• Also this causes people to start a revolution which can cause chaos in the government.

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

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

William Llyod Garrison was on of the most infuential abolitionist leaders in America during the years that caused the Civil War. He created an anti-slavery newspaper called "The Liberator," where he argued absolute freedom for the people who were held in slavery. He founded the New Englnd Anti-Slavery Society and the American Anti-Slavery Society. He burned the constitution at an abolitionist meeting.

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.
