The Intolerable Acts were the set of laws that closed Boston Harbor and prevented the local Massachusetts government from meeting because the British Parliament made the government of Massachusetts under their control.
The Indian class system was a very important part of life. It defined you in most ways, people were born into their castes and could not move up, but they could move down. It is one of the most significant and remembered because it is something that we don't really understand in western civilization.
I hope that helps!
I think it is an important part of U.S. democracy because it contributes the the U.S. in a major way. The creators of the U.S. Constitution worked to ensure the military would be under civilian control. When they wrote the Constitution they separated the responsibilities for the military, placing the responsibilities firmly in civilian hands. Congress has the power to declare war and to make the rules for governing the military. There are some disadvantages, though. The American Civil War of 1861-1865 was the period of greatest danger to civilian control of the military. As the war progressed, more and more people called for a military dictatorship. Military officers stayed away from politics and many even refused to vote, feeling that this would somehow influence their service.
hehehhe time for my civil war obsession to come in handy
Lincoln needed to announce it right after a big win for the Union. Antietam happened to be a well timed one.
Doing it after a big victory would help reinforce the fact that he was doing the right thing in the war, and that he was a good leader (good enough to be re-elected).
Announcing it right after a loss would be viewed as a weak, desperate move, and Lincoln couldn't afford that if he was to be running again for president.
The plague stopped the movement plus lack of technology
