Missouri compromise
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 maintained the balance of power in the Senate by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. The compromise also established the 36°30' line, with states north of this line being admitted as free and states south being slave.

The American Civil War
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. It discusses the economic and political divisions between the Northern and Southern states around the issue of slavery. As tensions rose, the Republican party was formed in opposition to slavery while Southern states began seceding from the Union. The Civil War began in 1861 with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, and major battles like Bull Run and Antietam resulted in high casualties. The war ended in 1865 with General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House after key Union policies like the Emancipation Proclamation and Homestead Act.
AHSGE Social Studies ch. 6 Civil War and Reconstruction

American Civil War.pptx
The Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and resulted in over 618,000 military deaths. The North had advantages in population, industrial capacity, and control of the navy. However, fighting an offensive war in unfamiliar territory was challenging. After initial Confederate successes, key Union victories at Gettysburg in 1863 and the fall of Vicksburg helped turn the tide. Finally, the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant in 1865 marked the end of major combat and the preservation of the United States as one country.

Civil War PPT
The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865, sparked by longstanding tensions between the industrial North and agrarian South. Key differences included the North's opposition to slavery and growing industrial economy versus the South's reliance on slave labor and staple crops. The South seceded after Lincoln's election in 1860 and established the Confederacy, attacking Fort Sumter to start the war. Major battles like Antietam, Vicksburg and Gettysburg weakened the South, and the Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery a Union war aim, leading to the South's defeat and the end of slavery.

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.
