This essay is going to be about the american civil war.. The reason that the civil war broke out is because the north side was against the slavery (the african slave trade) while the south side was buying slaves as soon as they could. If they wouldn’t do this then it would be really different right now. We wouldn’t live the same way, in both good ways and bad ways.
But there wouldn’t be as many wars as it have. Abraham Lincoln was USA’s first president. He was against the african slave trade and tried to stop it, thanks to this south carolina officially declared that they weren’t a part of USA.This was followed my 10 other states.
The people in north thought that it was wrong to buy slaves and use them for whatever they wanted while the south side was completely the opposite.
The war begun 12th April 1861 and ended 12th april 1865. It was the north side that won the war, not long after that Abraham Lincon declared that all the slaves in USA were free people just like everyone else. Ulysses S. Grant was USA’s 18th president, he was born March 4, 1869 and died March 4, 1877.
The slaves were needed because of the plantations which was where they would grow cotton, sugar and tobacco. When the plantations grew larger all the farmers started to want slaves, this meant that they used big ships where the put all the slaves, they also chained everyone together so they wouldn’t be able to run away from each other and more people would fit inside the ship. The farmers would work very hard before the slaves came though none of them wanted to pay for this labour, they then solved the problem by buying slaves which meant less to pay and less work.
During 1670-1860 more than half a million were taken to America against their will, everyone who did were taken there to be slaves.
The states that declared that they no longer were a part of USA were South Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and ia. Later on they grouped together and called themselves the Confederate States of America.
Robert E. Lee was an American career military officer who is best known for having commanded the Confederate Army of Northern ia in the American Civil War. If it wasn’t for the slavery then there wouldn’t be any racism right now, then you wouldn’t make fun of dark skinned people or asians even though the asians actually weren’t a part of the slavery some people still tease them just because they don’t look like us. In sweden we accept more people than we actually can, we don’t have enough houses/apartments for everyone, but them there are other countries who don’t even let people into their country.
I think that it was wrong to do what they did, if it wasn’t for the slavery then the civil war wouldn’t have broke out.. There are many wars that actually broke out because of the slavery/african slave trade.
Most of this is what I remember but I also used Wings Activity Book page.114 and Wikipedia. From what I know I actually did use my own vocabulary.
