The Northern states enjoyed increasing political representation and power born from rapid population growth. Because of the South’s investment in agriculture any attack on slavery, which was witnessed in the North, was an attack on Southern economy itself. Webster viewed slavery as a matter of historical reality rather than moral principle. Congress had prohibited slavery in the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 and divided regions into slave and free in the 1820 Missouri Compromise. Slavery where it existed could not be eradicated but it could not also take root in the newly acquired agriculturally barren lands on the southwest.
The North and the South had contrasting views on slave labor while the Federalists and Republicans fought on how much power the government should have. Each of these groups believed in America, and thought that their viewpoints would make it stronger. Their opinions began to contrast so much, that eventually a civil war broke out.
To analyse in whole, Britain's WW2 military was far behind the Germans apart from a few key areas, radar, air force (RAF) and its German code breaker (Enigma). The Germans were far ahead in tank technology and with U-boat submarines. The Germans also had higher amounts of military personel at their disposal. Britain's success lay in the Battle of Britain where the combined use of radar and code breaking allowed the Royal Air Force (RAF) to beat the Luftwaffe, from then on the Luftwaffe were more or less depleted, contributing to German defeat.
The revolutionary war was fought for 7 years from 1775 to 1781
