Slavery began in North America in 1619 and existed because it was believed to be God's will and a way to civilize Africans, though slaves faced brutal treatment. The abolitionism movement sought to end slavery and asserted all men are equal. This led to the American Civil War between slave states and free states from 1861-1865. Ultimately, the Union prevailed and slavery was abolished with the 13th amendment's ratification on December 6, 1865, though discrimination continued.

The american civil war
The American Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865. Political tensions between the industrialized Northern states and the agriculture-based Southern states, which relied on slavery, led 11 Southern states to form the Confederate States of America.

American History Part 1
Before European contact, indigenous peoples from Siberia migrated to North America across the Bering Strait beginning 16,000 years ago. Their populations expanded throughout the Americas, reaching an estimated 50 million inhabitants prior to European arrival. Meanwhile in Europe, the Roman Empire united much of the continent but later weakened and fell, leaving a power vacuum. In the 15th century, Spain funded Columbus' expedition seeking a route to Asia but he instead made landfall in the Americas. Over subsequent decades, the powerful Aztec and Inca Empires were conquered with devastating consequences for indigenous populations. European powers raced to claim territory in the Americas, though vast areas remained unsettled for centuries.

The Civil War
The Civil War began in 1861 following several decades of increasing tensions between northern and southern states over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events and compromises failed to stop the spread of slavery and preserve the Union, culminating in southern states seceding to form the Confederate States of America. The war was fought for control of territories and to determine whether slavery would be permitted to expand. Major battles like Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg were turning points, and Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation aimed to weaken the South by freeing slaves. Ultimately, the Union prevailed after General Lee surrendered in 1865, but Lincoln was assassinated shortly after.

4. causes of the civil war
The Civil War was caused by longstanding divisions between the North and South over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events exacerbating tensions included the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision, Lincoln's election in 1860, and South Carolina's secession from the Union in response. The Civil War began when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861.
CIVIL WAR 2
The Civil War began in 1861 after southern states seceded from the Union in response to Abraham Lincoln's election. Lincoln aimed to preserve the Union but did not initially seek to end slavery, which concerned African Americans. After the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter, the war officially began. In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in rebel states, and over 180,000 African Americans joined the Union army and navy, helping turn the tide of the war in the North's favor. The war ended in 1865 with the South's defeat and slavery abolished nationwide by the 13th Amendment, beginning the Reconstruction era.
The civil war
The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 between the Union (Northern states) and Confederate (Southern states) after Southern states seceded from the Union over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Over 600,000 soldiers died in the war that ended with the defeat of the Confederacy and the abolition of slavery. Key events included Southern states seceding after Lincoln's election, the bombardment of Fort Sumter, major battles at Bull Run, Gettysburg, and the capture of cities like New Orleans and Memphis, and Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863.

Key events included Southern states seceding after Lincoln's election, the Battle of Bull Run in 1861, the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, and the Union victory at Gettysburg that year which halted the Confederate invasion of the North.
Reconstruction Power Point
The Radical Republicans took control of Reconstruction after Lincoln's assassination. They established the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, white supremacist groups like the KKK used violence and intimidation. Rufus Bullock became governor of Georgia but unrest continued until military rule was restored. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, leaving the South under Democratic control.
2 slavery and the civil rights movement
Between 1525 and 1866, over 12 million Africans were taken as slaves to the Americas. They were forced to work on plantations harvesting lucrative crops like tobacco. According to the US Constitution, slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person. The American Civil War from 1861-1865 ended slavery and the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery and granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. However, discrimination continued and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s-1960s fought for desegregation, including Rosa Parks' bus boycott and Martin Luther King Jr.'s leadership of nonviolent protests.

Eoct review questions gps 9 and 10 civil war and reconstruction
The document summarizes key events and policies related to the American Civil War and Reconstruction era, including the Dred Scott decision, the Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, the end of the Civil War, Presidential and Radical Republican Reconstruction plans, amendments that aimed to protect rights of freed slaves, the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan, and the disputed 1876 election that ended Reconstruction.
Sucess and failure of sc853
Reconstruction in South Carolina saw both successes and failures in creating political, educational, and social opportunities for African Americans. Initially, African Americans gained the right to vote and hold office, with half the delegates to South Carolina's constitutional convention being newly freed slaves. However, the rise of violent groups like the Ku Klux Klan led to widespread intimidation and violence targeting African Americans and Republicans. As federal protection withdrew, discrimination increased, culminating in the 1876 Hamburg Massacre and voting irregularities that ended Republican rule in South Carolina.
7 civil war 3 days
The document outlines some of the key factors that contributed to the start of the American Civil War, including economic and political differences between the industrial North and agricultural South over the issues of slavery, states' rights, and tariffs. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 and subsequent compromises attempted to balance the number of slave and free states but did not resolve the underlying tensions between the regions. Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 as the first Republican president was the final trigger for Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
California and the civil war part 2
This document discusses the political battles over slavery in California in the decades leading up to the American Civil War. As California was gaining statehood, pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought over whether it would enter the union as a free or slave state. The discovery of gold in California brought an influx of miners who largely opposed slavery, helping ensure it became a free state. However, pro-slavery politicians and businessmen continued trying to legalize slavery in California and other western territories to maintain the political balance between free and slave states. These tensions were a contributing factor to southern states eventually seceding and the outbreak of the Civil War.
The End of Reconstruction and the Rise of Jim Crow Laws
The document summarizes the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow laws in the Southern United States after the Civil War. It explains that after Reconstruction ended in 1877, without federal protection, African Americans lost many rights and freedoms. Southern states then began passing Jim Crow laws that legalized racial segregation and discrimination, denying African Americans equal access to public spaces, education, jobs, voting rights, and more. This led to the widespread oppression and disenfranchisement of African Americans under an entrenched system of racial segregation in the South for the next 70+ years.
Ppt 10 rise of jim crow
After the Civil War, most African Americans became sharecroppers, a system that resembled slavery. Whites took out their frustrations on blacks and opposed black suffrage. The 15th Amendment granted blacks the right to vote, but whites used intimidation tactics to prevent voting. The 1873 depression and Colfax Massacre of 1873 further increased tensions. The 1875 Civil Rights Act was passed but Reconstruction ended in 1877. Violence against blacks increased as Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in the South. Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 established the "separate but equal" doctrine. African American leaders like Ida B. Wells fought against lynching while Booker T. Washington advocated for education at the Tuskegee Institute but not political
Bcr Pre 1954
By the mid-1950s, blacks in the United States still faced significant racism, discrimination, segregation, poverty, poor health, unemployment, and substandard housing as a legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws. While some progress had been made, such as the abolition of slavery after the Civil War and the formation of the NAACP in 1909, blacks were still largely treated as second-class citizens. The return of black soldiers after World War II, who had fought for freedom abroad but faced discrimination at home, helped build momentum for further civil rights reforms to address the remaining injustices and inequalities facing African Americans.

American history
- 1. AMERICAN HISTORY Shilpi Kanchan B.A. (H) English VI Semester
- 2. Slavery in America • Slavery began in North America in 1619 at Jamestown, Virginia. • The treatment of slaves was brutal and degrading, harsh and inhumane. • Slaves were punished by whipping, shackling, hanging, beating, burning, mutilation and imprisonment. • Rapes and sexual exploitation was common. • The institution existed because it was “God’s will,” a Christian duty to lift the African out of barbarism while still exerting control over his “animal passions.”
- 3. ABOLITIONISM • Abolitionism is a movement to end slavery, whether formal or informal. In Western Europe and the Americas, it is a historical movement to end the African and Indian slave trade and set slaves free. “All men are created equal.” was its motto. • America made slavery unconstitutional in 1865 after American Civil War. • After the Revolutionary War, most northern states abolished slavery and by 1804 it was completely abolished in North States. • In the 1850s, in the fifteen states constituting the American South , slavery was legal. While it was fading away in the cities and border states, it remained strong in plantation areas that grew cash crops such as cotton, sugar, rice or tobacco.
- 4. American Civil War (1861-1865) • The Civil War started because of differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. • Abraham Lincoln won the Presidential Elections in 1860 and pledge to keep slavery out of the nation, seven slave states in the deep South formed a new nation, called the Confederate States of America. Later four other states joined. • This endangered the sovereignty of United States and gradually war started. It ended in 1865 with the victory of Union and the merger of Confederacy in the United States.
- 5. Free states and Slave States
- 6. Other Major Events • Slavery in this country didn't officially end until Dec. 6, 1865, the day the 13th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. • It didn't end on Jan. 1, 1863, when President Abraham Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation. That was a Civil War executive order that freed slaves only in parts of the South that were not under control of the Union Army. • If anything of lasting value comes out of our annual homage to black history, this is designation of Dec. 6 as Liberation Day. It was on that day in 1865 that America's period of black enslavement, which lasted 246 years, officially came to an end. • In 2008, Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected president after 143 years of ending of slavery.
