Why did Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation NOT free the slaves in the slaveholding border states still loyal to the Union?

mr Goodwill [35]

Because it could only really apply to the rebellion states. The Confederacy already had a lot of control over their own slavery laws.

What were the two conflicts with Cuba in the 1960s?

UNO [17]

The two conflicts with cuba in the 1960s were:

When Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, relations between the two countries quickly devolved into bitter arguments, political grandstanding and the occasional international crisis. And while Cuba lies less than 100 miles (160 km) off the coast of Florida, the two nations have had no diplomatic relations since 1961 and use Switzerland as a mediator whenever they need to talk. But maybe — finally — things might change. On April 13 President Barack Obama announced that he would lift some longstanding restrictions, allowing Cuban Americans to visit and send remittances to their families and easing — but not removing — the 47-year-old economic embargo on the island nation. (Read "Will Obama Open Up All U.S. Travel to Cuba?")

But the U.S. and Cuba's ties go back well before Castro. In 1898, at the end of the Spanish-American war, a defeated Spain signed the rights to its territories — including Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam — over to the U.S., which subsequently granted Cuba its independence with the stipulation that the U.S. could intervene in the country's affairs if necessary (later relinquished) and that it be granted a perpetual lease on its naval base at Guantánamo Bay (not). For the next half-century the two countries more or less cooperated, with the U.S. helping to squash rebellions and heavily investing in the economy of its tiny neighbor. The American mafia used Havana as a conference center in 1946. Ernest Hemingway lived there for 22 years; he wrote The Old Man and the Sea at his villa just outside the capital.

Compare and contrasts the advantages of both the north and the south during the civil war

anzhelika [568]

Advantages of the North: larger population, a greater industrial base, a greater amount of wealth, an established government, enough farms to provide food for troops, land containing the country's iron, coal, copper, and gold, control of the seas, 21,000 miles of railroad tracks (allowing troops and supplies to be transported quickly wherever needed).

Advantages of the South: fighting defensively, familiar with the landscape, had generals who knew better how to fight and lead, had many former officers in the US Army with military experience (knew Union policies)

Weaknesses of the North: had to conquer a large area, invading unfamiliar territory, harder to supply Union troops as they got farther and farther from home, at the war's start about 1/3 of the Union's military officers resigned and returned to their homes in the South (lost many capable men), through much of the war Lincoln had to search for effective generals (had worse leadership than the Confederates)

Weaknesses of the South: few factories to produce weapons, few railroads to move troops and supplies, few supplies, smaller population (9 million), more than 1/3 of the population was enslaved (who often escaped and joined the Union, usually as informants or spies), poor navy
