The abolitionist movement in the early 1800s caused disagreement over the morality of slavery and played a vital role on peoples religious beliefs and how they manage to justify their actions. Religious leaders convinced Americans that religion was central to the American culture, and without religion there couldnt be a system of morals and ethics (Dyer). However, people were reevaluating their religion and how it played a role with slavery. Historians have questioned whether the abolitionist movement of the 1830s […]
Slavery was a major issue of concern in America. It involved capturing the less powerful in the colonies and taking them forcefully as workers.

Historically war has proven to be an excellent facilitator in the spread of disease. War takes advantage of the crowded unsanitary conditions wounded soldiers are placed in. The movement of sick troops from one base to another spreads any infectious diseases from person to person often unexpectedly. The American Civil War was no exception to this phenomena, with diseases spreading rapidly throughout the troops of both sides. Disease and sickness played such a tremendous role in this war that the […]
The Contention of The Common War There had been numerous great misconstruing among North and South in the years that hinted at the Common War, however the most appalling misconception of all was that neither one of the sides acknowledged, until the point that it was past the point of no return, that the opposite side was frantically vigorously. Not until the point when the war had really started would men see that their adversaries truly intended to battle? At […]

Although slavery still continued, free black men were allowed the right to vote. Furthermore, as an independent nation America no longer […]
The American Revolution is not an accurate name for what transpired in North America in the 1770’s to the 1780’s. A far more accurate name for what went down would be: The White American Revolution. The American Revolution in many ways reinforced the Patriot’s relationship and commitment of that relationship to slavery. That’s not to say that new ideas of liberty and equality were not surfacing as well, but in the pledge of allegiance to this new country, this so-called […]

African American history leading up to the Civil War, and beyond, is most commonly identified by its reaction to oppression from the nation’s white majority. This relationship caused gender roles in African American society to be formed in a similarly reactionary way; the way African American men and women acted in every part of society was a direct response to the way they were treated in society. Therefore, white oppression of both enslaved and free African Americans formed the gender […]

Being black means being bold, dominant, and prosperous. No matter what we go through we […]

By 1870, the Reconstruction amendments were added to the Constitution. These amendments were crucial to the beginning of the end to the racial […]
