The United States feared that if communism was successful on Vietnam, the rest of the countries that border it would soon turn into communism and those other countries that border that new communist country would also be converted to communism and so on.

Gorbachev pursued glasnost and perestroika reforms in part because the war in Afghanistan had drained the nation's resources. Mikhail Gorbachev, as known as the former General Secretary of the Soviet Union (Russia), noticed that there has been a huge decrease in their resources. They were fighting a war in Afghanistan, and used all of the nation's resources to help them win the war. Since they used most of their resources, they didn't have much to help the economy, so if they don't get enough resources back, the economy would fail. Because of this Gorbachev made a movement called "perestroika" to help get back the nation's resources. What this movement did was let the government speaker, or have a conversation, about the issues that are going on in the economy, and see if there could be a way to solve it.

3. The Congress cannot suspend the writ of habeas corpus means that the Congress cannot deny the right of the criminals to stand before a judge and learn the charges they face that enables them to defend themselves.

The war was costlier for the North. Even though they won, and they got what they wanted. And the south lost their slaves, the North paid way more in human lives. (Add quotes. If you don't have differences in human lives lost, just mention slaves were lost by south)
