Article I, Section 2 of the original Constitution is commonly known as the three-fifths compromise. It stated that each enslaved individual counted as three-fifths of a person in terms of representation in Congress, which is based on population. Article I, Section 9, Clause 1 of the original Constitution prohibited Congress from passing laws that banned enslavement until the year 1808, 21 years after the signing of the original Constitution. Slavery impacted those who were and who were not. The states that were not free suffered from labor costs when the slavery was banned. ]]> 2022-03-25 17:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ltuttle9/v71i6ukbx9blz7cl/wish/2114236155 Industrial Revolution klemus11 https://padlet.com/ltuttle9/v71i6ukbx9blz7cl/wish/2114263953 The Industrial Revolution was the transition to new manufacturing processes in Great Britain, continental Europe, and the United States.

The American Civil War was fought between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America, a collection of eleven southern states that left the Union in 1860 and 1861. The South wished to take slavery into the western territories, while the North was committed to keeping them open to white labor alone. The election of a Republican, Abraham Lincoln, as President in 1860 sealed the deal. His victory, without a single Southern electoral vote, was a clear signal to the Southern states that they had lost all influence. ]]> 2022-03-25 18:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ltuttle9/v71i6ukbx9blz7cl/wish/2114287057 Reconstruction klemus11 https://padlet.com/ltuttle9/v71i6ukbx9blz7cl/wish/2114993359 The reconstruction era was followed right after the Civil War.
