Answer:
Most of the fighting during the American Civil War took place on Southern soil. In part, this was the result of the war strategies of both sides. To win the war, the South had only to survive. On the other hand, for the North to win, the Union had to be restored. Thus, Union forces had to conquer the South in order to win the war. War action around their homes created many hardships for Southerners.
The hardships increased or intensified for other reasons as well. As an agricultural region, the South had more difficulty than the North in manufacturing needed goods--for both its soldiers and its civilians. One result was that Southern civilians probably had to make more real sacrifices during the war than Northern civilians did. In addition, part of Union war strategy was to use the Navy to blockade Southern ports. The Union hoped to stop the flow of goods between the South and other countries and strangle its foe economically.
To find additional sources in American Memory regarding the South during the Civil War, use words such as Yankee, Confederate, plantation, Civil War, and War Between the States, in your search.
Answer:
Basically, President Franklin D. Roosevelt's <em>New Deal </em>created many government institutions and programs that aimed to achieve:
1. relief
2. recovery
3. reform
To make sure that an economic disaster like the Great Depression would never happen again, Roosevelt established his New Deal. The New Deal brought sweeping reforms in American economic policy.
For example, the U.S. has economic safeguards (including "<em>safety nets</em>") that protect the U.S. economy.
The New Deal also created financial institutions and programs that still exist today. One of the most widely known is<em> Social Security</em>, which is a program that provides insurance and benefits to the retired + elderly, those with disabilities, and war veterans.
We also have the FDIC or <em>Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation</em>, which ensures that you will not lose your money if the bank fails (insured deposits).
Many people still rely on the benefits and protections from these programs. In fact, some take advantage of the government for their own benefit. People with both high or low wages can access their government benefits, and such a practice may be unsustainable in the future.
There is definitely more to the New Deal, but this is most of what I remember off the top of my head. Hope this helps!
