prosperity was superficial in the 1920's mainly because america had the policy of isolation. prices and taxes were lowered, also giving americans the options of buying goods on the margin, paying companies back in small installments. banks freely gave big loans for little in return. unknowingly, americans were just creating huge debt for themselves. they were borrowing, unaware of how much their money was mounting up. this became apparent after the wall street crash of october 29th 1929 where all banks had to be closed for 4 days, and only the stable banks which had money left could reopen.

5 reasons why the civil war started
Slavery
The burning issue that led to the disruption of the union was the debate over the future of slavery. That dispute led to secession, and secession brought about a war in which the Northern and Western states and territories fought to preserve the Union, and the South fought to establish Southern independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution

The Dred Scott Decision

Dred Scott was a slave who sought citizenship through the American legal system, and whose case eventually ended up in the Supreme Court.

States’ Rights

States’ Rights refers To the struggle between the federal government and individual states over political power.

Abolitionist Movement
By the early 1830s, those who wished to see that institution abolished within the United States were becoming more strident and influential. They claimed obedience to "higher law" over obedience to the Constitution’s guarantee that a fugitive from one state would be considered a fugitive in all states.

The Missouri Compromise

Additional territories gained from the U.S.–Mexican War of 1846–1848 heightened the slavery debate. Abolitionists fought to have slavery declared illegal in those territories, as the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 had done in the territory that became the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

3 Thing they faced.
* starvation
The English settlement at Jamestown had been established on May 14, 1607, with the arrival of three ships commanded by Captain Christopher Newport. The initial small group of 104 men and boys chose the location because it was favorable for defensive purposes, but it offered poor hunting prospects and a shortage of drinking water. Although they did some farming, few of the original settlers were accustomed to manual labor or familiar with farming. Hunting on the island was poor, and they quickly exhausted the supply of small game. The colonists were largely dependent upon trade with the Native Americans and periodic supply ships from England for their food.
* Hostile Indians
One of the most apparent problems facing the colonists was communicating with the existing inhabitants.
* disease
Disease in colonial America that afflicted the early immigrant settlers was a dangerous threat to life. Some of the diseases were new and treatments were ineffective. Malaria was deadly to many new arrivals, especially in the Southern colonies.
