The 2006 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006 in the middle of Republican President George W. Bush's second term. All United States House of Representatives seats and one third of the United States Senate seats were contested in this election, as well as 36 state and two territorial governorships, many state legislatures, four territorial legislatures and many state and local races. The election resulted in a sweeping victory for the Democratic Party which captured control of the House of Representatives, the Senate, and won a majority of governorships and state legislatures from the Republican Party.

The victory of the Democratic Party in the 2006 Congressional elections was a major milestone for an additional reason: it saw the election of the first woman to serve as the Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the Democrats in the House of Representatives, became the highest-ranking woman in the history of the government of the United States upon her election as Speaker in January 2007. She continues to hold this distinction, as of May 2018. It was also the first election in U.S. history in which the losses for one side were so lopsided that the victorious party did not lose a single incumbent or open seat in Congress or governor's mansion.[1]

Reasons for the Democratic Party takeover include the decline of the public image of George W. Bush, the dissatisfaction of his administration's handling of both Hurricane Katrina and the War in Iraq, the beginning of the collapse of the United States housing bubble, Bush's legislative defeat regarding Social Security Privatization, and a series of scandals in 2006 involving Republican politicians

How was the mentality of the people in the south in the civil war
butalik [34]

Answer: Complicated plz read

Explanation: So the south had the majority of the slaves during the civil war time. The south wanted to Keep slavery and the north wanted to abolish it. This war was considered one of the bloodiest battles in american history. Slavery was very essential back then becuase all those slaves were working hard with minimum to no pay on the farms. This means that the owners could sell the crops and get the moolah.(its all about the moolah right)? So there was a big gun fight and people died. But the mentality of the south states I guess were angry and fighting to keep the money(simply put). While the north thought that the south were being bullies:)

Hope I helped!
