"In 1854, Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas proposed that two new states, Kansas and Nebraska, be established in the Louisiana Purchase west of Iowa and Missouri." Is what History started to say about this topic. My feelings on this event are that I think it was a imoprtant event when it comes to slavery.

According to Office of The Historian, The Chinese Immagrants came mostly for work, to work in gold mines, work in factories, do agricultural jobs, and the garment industry. Some were so succesful that they became entrepreneurs themselves. But at the same time Anti-Chinese grew more. A legislation aimed at Chinese immigration to the US. The States didn't like the immigrants because they were changing the ecomany so that it profited China. (Continue writing using Office of The Historian.)

I would have most likely joined the slave rebellion, and possibly the woman's rigths movment. The slave rebellion is what has cause the most controversy, even hundreds of years later. I strongly believe against slves and racism, even during those times I wouldn't have owned a slave and would have tried to stop others from getting them too. The woman's rights movement is also important, because it was half of the world population not getting all the benifets that the other half gets. Woman are people too, much like slaves/black people are too. No race or gender should be treated differently then the other.

I think it is Slavery, because if slavery never existed then most of the other reasons would not have happened, or would have been different. Lincoln wouldn't have the same motives and might not have even been in the election. Everything else is to do with slavery as the main problem.

Some say that the first slaves were brought by ship to Virginia. Of the 350 Ndongo people, only 200 survived the trip. During this trip two other ships intercepted and stole 50 or so slaves on the boat. These ships were the White Lion and the Treasurer and the slaves, originally on their way to what today is Veracruz, Mexico, took a new path set for Virginia.
The majority of them were then seized by Governor Sir George Yeardly and the head merchent Abraham Piersey and kept in Jamestown. The rest is history.

If you look at two maps of what states voted for Lincoln and what states seceded from America, you'll see that most of the states that didn't vote Lincoln joined the Confederate states, while any that did stayed united. While this has to do with the state's views on slavery, it is also about their hate for Lincoln and it's a connection that I can make between two leading causes to the Civil War.

Benjamin Franklin once owned two slaves that went by the names of King and George. Upon seeing a school of African people being taught and learning just as fast as a white child, he changed his entire perspective. He quickly became leader of a abolitionist group created by the Pennsylvania Quakers. He wished for all of slavery to be ended, the trading and owning of them. More abolistionist groups were made and helped the movement grow. Franklin's slaves were freed and he helped more freed uneducaated slaves get the education and care they need.

The North, because the South's strategy to wait it out would, and did, fail. The North had motives and were set on ending this their way. The North had more materials so they could easily outlast the South. Also requesting help didn't always work, some allies might not want to help, and they couldn't rely on them all the time. The North's strategy to cut off trade and the ocean with the navy was samrt because they statisticly had a better Navy, ending transportation, and controling the capital were all valid plans that aided in their win of the war.

He got charged with treason for leading the Confederacy, and got sent to prison. This prison was in Fort Monroe, and he lived 2 years total in the place. Though those two years were hard, his mental and physical state deminished and he was never quite the same after his release in May 1867. He and his family travelled for two tyear, but ended up back in America where he worked in an insurence company that later went bankrupt. His book on the history of the Confederacy was a flop, and he lived because of his friend and familie's money until he died in New Orleans in 1889.

Would I want to be a Soldier in the Civil War?

If I was alive during the time of the Cicil War, I would most likely NOT join the war. It was an event that plenty of people have already joined and I wouldn't be fit enough to be useful in the fight. Killing people in a war is something that I could never do. My reaction time is slow, and I would barely even be able to hold the gun let alone shoot it. One bullet could probobly stop me in my tracks and end me. The thought of going to war makes me uncomfortable and holding a musket a tenth of my weight would slow me down and exhaust me. Seeing my friends die and my life in more danger than any other time in my life.

The Civil War housed many jobs for men and women alike, the men did most of the fighting and the war stuff during this time, while the women became nurses, but unexpectedly some joined the cause as soldiers.
During the Civil War women weren't allowed to be anything but nurses if they were involved in the war. Over 400 of these brave women didn't want to lsten to the men, and became soldiers. They dresses like men and cut their hair to be like a mans. This reminds me of Disneys Mulan, where Mulan, wanting to do more then what women would do at the time, joined a war that her father could not due to an injury. Women were not allowed to join, but Mulan didn't listen and ended up being the best soldier. If women were not in the Civil War I feel like some things wouldn't have been possible and the world would be very different.

Early in life Abraham Lincoln was not rich, and born in a log cabin with only one room to shre with the rest of his family. Not happy wit hliving in Kentucky, they moven to Indiana when Little Abe was 7 years old. He worked constantly and had three brief periods of school. Not to long after in 1830 he moved again to Illinois where he got many jobs and eventually became legislator in 1834. He was opposed to slavery and wanted to expland focus less on agriculture but more on cities and commerce. During his time as a lawyer in Springfield, he ment Mary Todd and married her in the year 1842. He won a spot in the House of Representatives, but was unpopular with voters and returned to Springfield in 1849, once his term ended. in October of 1854 he joined a debate against the Kansas-Nebraska Act created by Stephen Douglas, made so that federal government didn't decide if slaves were allowed, the state would decide for itself. He fought Douglas in many debates and his reputation grew. He then became president in 1860, not knowing 4 years later he would be killed because of it.

How I think railroads helped during the Civil War

# data[].attributes.body
I beleive that the railroads were huge in the war, because they can be used to tranport troops into enemy lines of get goods from other places quickly. If the rails didn't exist then I feel like there would be many more casualties and the war could have been very different. This was mainly a huge help for the confederacy, because they had less supplies and the amount of people were less, so if they could move troops and get supplies without having to risk more lives then they would take it. This war could've been a lot shorter or longer without these rails going around the country.

I think that defending the Alamo was not the right decision, because they were outnumbered, and they probobly didn't have as many resourses or experience as the attackers. I beleive that they should NOT chage history books, because they need to remember the bad decisions, and learn from them.

What took abolition so long to become an issue

# data[].attributes.body
It took so long because more people saw what a slave went through and some might've went through the same experinces. Religions decided to act on slavery and so did some territories. Factory workers saw what kind of work slaves were doing and might've decided against it after working there. In the earlier days Americans were against a lot of people and a lot of the county, mostly the south, were pro-slave.
