After The Civivl War

During the civil war there was two general Ulysses S. Grant who was in the unions side (north) and Robert E. Lee who was in the confederacy side (south). The general who I would predict that would to be the least successful is Robert E. Lee. I say Robert E. Lee because he fail to provide his army with adequate food, clothing, or weapons.
The reconstruction us important to the U.S because after the Civil War, the nation began to re-admit the South back into the Union.
I would solve illiteracy in the form slave y putting more public school, so they can all learn to read and write. Plantation owners want illiteracy slaves because most slaves required education to became economically self-sufficient.
Many former slaves had problems getting elected into office because most slave couldn't read or write.
Churches were very important to the African American people. It was important because it was the only institution that African Americans fully had control of.

Industrial Revolution

The Erie Canal was a man made canal they built during their period of the market revolution. This was significant to the U.S. because it help them get a bigger market distribution. With this canal it help them bring goods from Albany, New York to Lake Erie which stretch 363 miles. Also it was the easily transportation to their surplus productions.
Free enterprise is the freedom of private businesses to operate competitively for profit with little government regulation. Entrepreneurs is a businessmen who invested their own money in new industries. It was important to the U.S. because it help people make more money.
The most important resource the U.S. had to help it become a world-wide industrial power was black gold which was oil.
The black gold was significant because they used it in many of their transportation and other use. Oil was basic use in light lambs and machinery.
Steel was manufacture by removing the Carbon from iron produces a lighter, more flexible, and rust-resistant metal-steel. Steel was used to make railroads tracks for thousands of miles, machines, and architecture building.
Buildings we're change and improved during the industrail revolution. With a steel frame to support the weight, architects could build as high as they wanted.
A new industrail revolution is always happening. The difference is that in the past the used steam boats and telegraph and now we use cars and cellphones or house phone. Two things we still use like the past is black gold(oil) to put on our machine and more. Also steel we use it in many buildings, bridge and machines.
Brooklyn bridge 
It was the most remarkable structure they made with steel.

The American Civil War

During the Civil War the north and south were different. They both develop into two very different cultural and economic regions. The north didn't want slaves and the south did want slaves. Also the south had many plantation while the north had it's industries.

California was involved n the Civivl War debate because they didn't allowed slaves. When the people fom the South heard it they got angry.

The Fugitive slave law is a law that requires all escaped slave to brought back to their master/owners. The south support this law. This law was create was made so northerners wouldn't steal their slaves.

The Dred Scott case was about a African American slave who the Supreme Court was making a decision to consider a free man or a slave. This case lead to the Civil War by making the north and south fight about Dred Scott freedom.

John Brown's plan was to take slaves to a Virginia building where their was guns and other weapons store. After that he would a slave uprising and a revolution. Brown's plan was not a success no uprising or revolution happen. Later on John Brown was put on trail and was put to death.

After the secession the south formed the confederacy. Which broke apart from the union.

The tension between the states right and the central government power lead to the civil war.
The main reason is that north and south were fighting about the slaves. The north didn't want slaves while the south did want them.

The Bill of Rights and Me

The U.S. Bill of Right is important to me because it keeps me safe and tells me what I'm allowed to do.
Americans have the freedom of speech but it has it's limits. There are some form of speech that are not protect by the 1st amendment , and congress is allowed to makes laws regarding certain types of expression. For example you can't yell fire in a movie theater and cause a panic attack making many people get hurt.
The police can not search your car without a court paper unless necessary. According to the Supreme Court decisions, depends on weather they have a good reason. There is probably not sufficient reason for a search if the police is simply suspicious of the diver because of the way he is acting.
The right against unreasonable searches and seizures is highly important to most people because it's makes them feel disrespected.
A person can not be put in trail twice for the same crime. If they do it twice they are only going to do it again and again. They need to get enough evidence the first time. The only way to be put in trail again is by a different reason.

Recording of a New Nation

George Washington is a historic figure. He became the first president; he was a unanimous choice in the nation first presidential election. George Washington was for being a hero of the revolution. Also he is consider important to the U.S. because he help to establish a country that still exist.
The First political parties were an organization of people which seeks to achieve goals.
A presidential carbinet is are people who advise the president. They're more then one arguing and having disagreements in order to have a good decision. 
Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson were George Washington cabinet. These two had ideas for the new country. Alexander Hamilton wanted economy based on shipping and manufacturing and Thomas Jefferson wanted economy based on farming. Also Hamilton wanted concentrating power in federal government and Jefferson wanted sharing power with state and local government. They both had major disagreements.
If I was a president I would want to have cabinet. I would want them so they can help me make decision. Also so I can see everyone's point of view of the solution and have a solid good decision.

The Constitution of the U.S.

The constitution is a document that tells you what you can do and what you can't do. The peoples right. This document can also be change.
A centralized government is where all decisions are made by the government.
The Article of Confederation is a sign document to organize 13 colonies and to establish laws.
The original constitution do not succeed because there was not enough power in the central government. Many people didn't even show to vote.
Continental Congress limit the power of the Central Government by the bill of rights.
A significance of the U.S. constitution in 2014 is that we still have it the same since 200 years ago.
