When more territories were acquired by the U.S. As a result of the Mexican Wars, another uneasy 'Compromise Measure of 1850' was reached that admitted California as a 'free state' and allowed the rest of the states, i.e., Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to decide for themselves whether to permit slavery or not. The tensions between the North and the South went up another notch when the Senate passed the 'Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854' which repealed the prohibition of slavery in the territories north of 36° 30' latitude previously agreed in the 'Missouri Compromise.' In reaction to the repealing of the Missouri Compromise, antislavery groups formed a new party (called the Republican Party) that was committed to containing slavery (Gallagher, 2006). Other Causes of the Civil War: Apart from slavery, the American Civil War was also fought over the issue of preservation of the rights of the individual states. The Southern states believed that they had the right to decide their own policies rather than being controlled by the federal government from Washington. The Union was considered a "voluntary compact" by the Southern states that had been entered into by independent, sovereign states for as long as it served their purpose. Moreover, the economies of the North, South, and the newly acquired Northwest Territories had developed in such divergent ways that they had conflicting interests. For example, the North was becoming industrialized and demanded high tariffs as protection from imported goods; the South which imported most of its manufactured goods demanded low tariffs, while the Northwest, being far from its markets of grains and cattle, needed infrastructure improvement (roads, railroads) and supported higher taxes. On second thought, however, even these 'other causes' of the Civil War were in some ways linked to the issue of slavery. For example, the major policy issue that the Southern states wanted to decide for themselves was that of slavery; they argued that the practice of slavery was an issue for states to decide while the Northern...
Furthermore, the South had resisted industrialization mainly because they had the alternative of employing slave labor.
Civil War How did it happen that the North won the Civil War, notwithstanding the fact that the South had its own powerful advantages? This paper explores that question using chapters 11, 12, 13 and 14 for reference sources. Background on the Southern economy and politics The South greatly expanded its agricultural industry (the plantation system) between 1800 and 1860, and in doing so became "increasingly unlike the North," the author explains in
Civil Rights and Police Departments The outline for basic civil rights in America is deceptively simple and straightforward; it appears in the Bill of Rights, with a concentration on the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments. Taken together, these amendments govern the ability of the government to conduct searches and seizures, dictate the rules required for arrest, guarantee the right to remain silent, provide the right to an attorney, and prohibit
War Society Modern World War has been an integral part of the development of our civilization from the earliest times.

War of the Roses can be considered to be the bloodiest conflict fought in England to date. Beginning in 1455 and ending in 1487, the conflict was rooted in a struggle between the heirs of King Edward III and King Henry IV, who were divided into the House of Lancaster, represented by a red rose, and the House of York, represented by a white rose, hence, the conflict being commonly
