Hello There!
I do believe that learning that the past is important. To understand the present "current events" we must have an understanding of what has already taken place in the past. Some examples of this would be "Conflicts with other countries" "Economy" or "Treatment of immigrants" Also, past events and experiences have shaped our identity and who we are as a country. We need to be aware of our surroundings and realize that we got here because our ancestors helped us through generations. Another thing it helps us do is understand change and how the society we live in today came to be. And lastly, its essential to study history to be a global citizen
The reason why <span>Lincoln needed a military Victory before he could announce the emancipation of slaves and Southern States is because he didn't want to make it seem like he was desperate--in that freeing the slaves wasn't a "last ditch" effort against the South. </span>
Europe, began undergoing “second” industrial revolutions by the late 19th century
<span>The united states would have had to keep its commercial vessels out of waters patrolled by U-boats. This would have been politically unpopular and economically damaging.</span>
The constitution grants every American freedoms for the right of speech,right to press, right to bear arms etc. the prohibition era although it may of seemed effective at the time was more or less a failure to protect the freedom we grant every American. The right to free speech can hurt people, free press can hurt people, just like alcohol can. My point is we cannot control people all we can do is control the outcome.
