History

The type of gerrymandering that took place in north Carolina 12th congressional district was an example of affirmative Gerrymandering. Its specific goal was to create a district with an African American majority with the purpose of giving this community of interest greater representation.

Gerrymandering is a practice which aims to establish a political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries.

The term gerrymandering has negative connotations.

A US district court ruled earlier this week that North Carolina’s partisan gerrymandered congressional districts were unconstitutional, raising the very real possibility that new maps might need to be drawn mere weeks before the 2018 House elections.

New districts would likely be a boon for Democrats: Though North Carolina is evenly or nearly evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, Republicans currently hold 10 of the state’s 13 House seats. In their quest for a House majority, even one or two newly competitive seats in North Carolina would be a major boost to Democrats’ chances of taking over at least one chamber of Congress.

But first, state officials and the courts need to figure out if drawing new districts is even possible in such a short time and whether the congressional elections might need to be delayed in order to accommodate the court-ordered redistricting. Looming over all of it is the US Supreme Court, which could put a stay on the lower court’s decision and bring the whole mad dash to an end very quickly.

North Carolina Republican leaders accused the federal court’s decision of introducing “unmitigated chaos” to the state’s 2018 elections — and while they are surely peeved at the thought of losing congressional seats, they aren’t wrong in thinking the court has upended the 2018 landscape in North Carolina and nationwide.

hope i helped!!

Which is an example of a union strategy that took advantage of a Confederate weekness
Elanso [62]
The Union used its number of ships to keep the south from exporting or importing its goods to foreign countries. It also used the ships to spread slave-revolt propaganda to convince European countries to not to trade with the South so they'll be economically weak to provide their soldiers with nessecary equipment such as weapons, food, and clothing. The union also used its wealth to buy southern loyalties to block south' sports to weaken confederates further more. Also, the North had railroads which the government bought from different companies to provide transportation to their men faster along with weapons. They also had many inventors who came up with gadgets and codes to help the army.
