Korean War 6th Period Guyer
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, capturing the capital city within three days. The war was mainly fought along the 38th parallel dividing line between North and South Korea. After three years of fighting, a ceasefire was signed on July 27, 1953, but the peninsula remains divided and the countries are still technically at war. Over two million lives were lost in the conflict, including more than 50,000 American soldiers.
The forgotten war
The document summarizes information about the Korean War. It provides details about how the war started between North and South Korea in 1950 with Soviet support of North Korea and US support of South Korea. It notes the war ended in 1953 with an armistice that kept the dividing line at the 38th parallel. Over 5 million soldiers and civilians lost their lives during the bloody conflict, making it one of the deadliest wars despite its short duration.
End to civil war
The Civil War ended in April 1865 with the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. The terms of surrender were generous to the defeated Confederate soldiers. The war caused immense social, political, economic and technological changes in the United States and resulted in over 600,000 casualties between the Union and Confederate armies. Just five days after Lee's surrender, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, a Southern sympathizer.
Chapter 11
The document discusses the causes and early events of the American Civil War. It addresses three long-term causes: the system of slavery, regionalism between the North and South, and states' rights. Three short-term causes that led to the war are also identified: the election of Abraham Lincoln, the secession of South Carolina from the Union, and the firing on Fort Sumter in South Carolina by Confederate forces. The strategies of the North and South during the early part of the war are briefly described, including the Battle of Bull Run which was an early Confederate victory.
Civil War Lecture
The Civil War was fought between the Union (North) and the Confederacy (South) from 1861 to 1865. It resulted in around 600,000 casualties and determined that the United States would remain unified rather than split into multiple countries. Key events and battles included the First Battle of Bull Run, which showed the war would not be short; Gettysburg, a major turning point; Sherman's March to the Sea, which helped turn sentiment against the Confederacy; and Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox, effectively ending the war. The Union's victory abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government.
Unit7 notes4
The Tet Offensive of 1968 was a surprise attack by the Vietcong on several South Vietnamese cities during the Lunar New Year celebration. Though the US and South Vietnam won militarily, with over 32,000 Vietcong deaths, the offensive shook public support for the war as it showed the Vietcong was not close to defeat as had been portrayed. This caused US news anchor Walter Cronkite and others to lose confidence in the war, and led President Johnson to decide not to seek re-election. Protests against the war escalated amid rising violence, with the assassinations of MLK and RFK. At the chaotic 1968 Democratic Convention, Richard Nixon was elected after promising to restore order and end the Vietnam War.
US History Chapter 16
The Civil War began in 1861 when several southern slave states seceded to form the Confederate States of America. The war was fought between the Union (Northern) states and the Confederate (Southern) states over the issues of states' rights and slavery. After early victories for the South, the tide turned when the Union adopted emancipation and employed newly freed African American troops. Major battles like Gettysburg and Vicksburg resulted in Union victories. Finally, the war ended in April 1865 with Confederate General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox, bringing an end to over four years of bitter conflict between the North and South.

Border skirmishes increased and nearly 10,000 troops were killed before the 1950 outbreak of the Korean War, when North Korea launched a surprise attack on the South. The UN authorized a force led by the US to defend South Korea.

Frederick Douglas was an escaped slave who lectured against slavery and published an abolitionist newspaper called The North Star. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 maintained a balance of power in Congress by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, dividing the Louisiana Territory between slave and free territories north and south of the line. The Dred Scott decision of 1857 ruled that slaves were property without rights, further fueling tensions between North and South. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860 on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery, leading several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America, precipitating the Civil War.

American Civil War Presentation
The American Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and involved the union (North) fighting the confederacy (South). The South seceded from the North due to political and economic issues surrounding states' rights and slavery. The war began when Confederate troops attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina after Southern states increasingly seceded in response to Lincoln's election. Over four bloody years of fighting, major battles like Gettysburg and Vicksburg turned the tide in favor of the Union, which eventually prevailed in reunifying the states and abolishing slavery, though at a tremendous cost of over 620,000 lives.

A Short Overview of the American Civil War
The Civil War began in 1861 following several southern states' secession from the Union and took up arms against the northern states. Abraham Lincoln was president of the Union and Jefferson Davis led the Confederate states of America. The first major battle was at Fort Sumter in South Carolina in April 1861 after the Confederate army attacked. This prompted Lincoln to call for troops to put down the rebellion. The Union had advantages in population, industry and resources while the Confederacy relied on tactics like defending territory and attacking when possible. The war was bloody and long, but by 1865 the Union had worn down the Confederate forces, culminating in General Robert E. Lee's surrender to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia, effectively ending
