Thesis: What were the motives of the American people when the Northern and Southern states went to war against each other? Blood In Arms
The American Civil War was a significant period in history that served in the growth and maturity of the United States Of America. The Civil War broke as a result of conflict between the Northern and Southern states. Circa the early 1860s the lives of the Northerners and Southerners differed. It was everything from different functions in economies, to distinguished views on laws of the government and slavery. Those differences soon led to the division of the United States into two nations: The Confederate States Of America and The United States Of America. Ulysses S. Grant was the General of Union Army and Robert E. Lee was the General of the Confederate Army. The war lasted for four years. Kicking off first blood at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861 and ceasing fire at General Robert E. Lee's surrender April 9,1865 in Appomattox. Come and take a journey back to when Americas had blood in its arms. Uprising Conflict(s) Since the lifestyles of the both the Northerners and Southerners were so diverse conflict began to stir. The Northern states' economy relied on industry and growing
Kpaka 2 crops. In the Southern states, the economy was based on agriculture. Another issue was slavery. Slavery was illegal in the Northern States, but legal in the( Graves, 78) Slave states included Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana,Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The Southerners needed slave to work in fields for the harvesting of crops. Between the 16th and 19th centuries slaves were brought on ships from parts of West Africa in shackles to come and treated with brutality as they worked for their masters( Kagan & Wyslop,41). This matter was surrounded by so much quarrel when the thought of expansion of slavery throughout new territories when they became states(Graves,11). Abraham Lincoln argued “African American rights ,listed in the Declaration of Independence—the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness”(Deverell&White,491)against slavery's expansion In the new territories in his 1858 debate with Senator Stephen Douglas.( Kagan & Wyslop 32-33) In 1860, South Carolina seceded from the Union. Soon, on the month of February 1861, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas also seceded. These were now the Confederate States Of America and they elected Jefferson Davis as their president. He vowed not expand slavery in the new territories (Graves,12-13). War!!!
On April 12, 1861 Davis led his soldiers to attack on Fort Sumter; the Union fell
Kpaka 3 outmatched. This Kicked off the first battle of the civil war. Citizens began choosing sides and Union armies began enlisting soldiers. The Union wore uniforms the color of Blue while the Confederacy wore tan. General Ulysses S. Grant was the commander for the Union army; whereas the General for The Confederacy was Robert E. Lee.(Graves34-35) The Union and Confederacy were divided into three bases; Artillery (Unit cannons),Calvary (Unit of soldiers who fought on horseback, and Infantry (Unit of soldiers that marched to fight on the battlefield).There were more Union soldiers than Confederate soldiers. Also ,the union could receive supplies from factories while the Confederates had to import supplies. The Union soldiers were not skilled army men as the Confederacy soldiers. Equally important, southern soldiers were experience hunters as well as great horsemen(Graves,16-18).
Major Battles & Surrender There were many major battles fought before Lee's surrender. The first one was, the 1st Bull Run(July21,1861-the south wins). Second major battle was, the Seven Days battle (June6-July1862 south wins). Also, the 2nd Bull Run(7/29-30/1862) and the Battle of Antietam(9/17/1862). This was the bloodiest battle ever fought. Finally, the battle of Gettysburg(July 1-3,1863)(Graves34-37). General Lee surrendered in April 1865.
Mangie's Trip back to the 1800s—Plot: She's a member of Congress & an Abolitionist Who's trying to Convince Congress not To Expand Slavery. Should Slavery Be Expanded In the New Territories ?
Kpaka 1 Argument: There should not be an expansion of slavery in the new territories.
God made us all equal in his creation to live and breathe together on this world. However, today in the year of 1860, we are totally living the opposite of what we were born to live. First and foremost slavery does abide by our constitutional rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In the Southerners defense slavery is needed for their economy. With that said, it is fair to say that brutality, I'm sure is not necessary for the economy. Slavery(as bad as it is), does not need to infect new territories, soon to be states, with the disrespect and inhumane behaviors of Southern slave owners. As for the expansion of slavery, It should permanently terminated!!! There shouldn't be a half free, half slavery country. Today, America will learn the important reasons for not extending the cruel business of slavery. Why slaves----why not employ struggling citizens to work in your fields? What---money making farmers are that cheap? These people were ripped from their homeland and herded onto ships like animals. They also endured starvation and diseases that quickly spread from one person to another. The Southerners, particularly farmers bought slaves to work in fields. They beat and brutalize their free labor employees. Some even raped their slaves. Using
Kpaka 2 such methods to intimidate and ridicule another human being. Of course, if a slave is lucky enough to be sold into a good home, they will be educated,
treated with respect, and in return be of great service to his or her master. Doesn't this make any American citizen wonder; why go through all of this just to make money. Where has the respect for human life gone? What about what was written with pen and paper? The federal Constitution along with the Declaration Of Independence both summarized a promise to all those who reside in some part of America are entitled to equality. Those who printed their John Hancock on those documents must learn to practice what they have preached. What kind of justice system are we really working with here? A fine for murder; that's not enough justice for the slaves nor me! If this is how mankind's justice system fights for it's living people and the deceased, then how long before we actually own up to the commitment that was made to citizens of the United States. Expanding Slavery into the new territories means more torture among those harmless people Southerners call property. The expansion of slavery only proves that the hearts of American citizens are filled with hatred and just plain cruelty. Justice is not justice, unless justice is for ALL! It's not healthy for our youth to grow up treating others with brutality because in some areas of this nation we call out with pride, it's okay for human beings sold as possessions. Kpaka 3 And this is what the Southerners want? Don't allow the selfish behavior and greed of people who do not understand true human value to make money off of free
laboring people. If America is what's on written paper, then STOP INHUMANE TREATMENT! STOP BUYING AND SELLING HUMANS! STOP SLAVERY AND IT'S EXTENSION BEFORE THE LITTLE GOOD NAME WE HAVE IS SPOILED!
