how did the rights argument of the Civil War and the ways in which this war did expand states rights?​

History

Softa [21]3 years ago

Answer: The appeal to states' rights is of the most potent symbols of the American Civil War, but confusion abounds as to the historical and present meaning of this federalist principle.  

The concept of states' rights had been an old idea by 1860. The original thirteen colonies in America in the 1700s, separated from the mother country in Europe by a vast ocean, were use to making many of their own decisions and ignoring quite a few of the rules imposed on them from abroad. During the American Revolution, the founding fathers were forced to compromise with the states to ensure ratification of the Constitution and the establishment of a united country. In fact, the original Constitution banned slavery, but Virginia would not accept it; and Massachusetts would not ratify the document without a Bill of Rights.

Secession Speeches

South Carolinians crowd into the streets of Charleston in 1860 to hear speeches promoting secession.

The debate over which powers rightly belonged to the states and which to the Federal Government became heated again in the 1820s and 1830s fueled by the divisive issue of whether slavery would be allowed in the new territories forming as the nation expanded westward.

The Missouri Compromise in 1820 tried to solve the problem but succeeded only temporarily. (It established lands west of the Mississippi and below latitude 36º30' as slave and north of the line—except Missouri—as free.) Abolitionist groups sprang up in the North, making Southerners feel that their way of life was under attack. A violent slave revolt in 1831 in Virginia, Nat Turner’s Rebellion, forced the South to close ranks against criticism out of fear for their lives. They began to argue that slavery was not only necessary, but in fact, it was a positive good.

As the North and the South became more and more different, their goals and desires also separated. Arguments over national policy grew even fiercer. The North’s economic progress as the Southern economy began to stall fueled the fires of resentment. By the 1840s and 1850s, North and South had each evolved extreme positions that had as much to do with serving their own political interests as with the morality of slavery.

Snezhnost [94]

Colonialism refers to a government policy in which a country establishes its power over other regions and territories. Imperialism is a similar practice, which occurs when a nation extends its rule over another country and people, most often through military, political and economic control.

The practices of colonialism and imperialism have led to a great variety of consequences, both positive and negative.The negatives usually included the death and abuse of indigenous people, or the depletion of natural resources. However, the positive ones often included growth and development.

For example, colonizers often brought new practices to the indigenous people they conquered. These practices often allowed for the development of more organized, more efficient or more stable communities. An example of this could be found in the Roman Empire, which spread Roman law over its conquered territories.

Another consequence is that of improved standards of living for most or some of the population. For example, the British government made some changes in India that improved the life of a large percentage of the population, such as the introduction of the railroad, schools, and better sanitation.

Study the photo and use what you have learned about the history of the Plague to choose the best caption for the photo.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

ExplanatioIt was a disease that would turn the world upside down, and it spread faster than it could be understood.

The “Black Death” that raged through the world during the Middle Ages was the most devastating infectious

disease recorded in human history. By the time the Plague had finally loosened its death grip, it had claimed

the lives of nearly half of the world’s population in less than five years. This special presentation, The Plague,

offers two compelling perspectives on the ravages of this disease. Journals and personal narratives from the

14th century take viewers inside the world of the disease as those who lived through it attempted to make

sense of its origins and significance amidst the chaos of its terror. These voices of perplexed horror and fear

are answered by contemporary historians and scientists who help us understand the sources of the Plague

and assess the long-term effects of this chilling pandemic.

This two-hour documentary traces the spread of this disease by describing both the methods of transmission,

and the path of infection as those who traversed trade routes unknowingly carried it throughout the world.

As the uncontrollable infections spiraled throughout

Europe, hysteria ensued. Those looking to place blame

laid responsibility at the door of God, at Jews, and at one

another, without any true explanation to comfort them.

The Plague chronicles the staggering effects of this

disease on European society, analyzing the ways that

these unexpected events in the 1340s altered the world

forever. Insights are drawn from first-person accounts

from Pope Clement VI, Princess Joan of England, Agimet,

a Jewish servant to a wealthy Swiss nobleman, and French

physician Guy de Chauliac. Educators and their students

will be riveted by these dramatic testimonies, and the

conclusions this program draws about the transformations

which followed in the wake of this cataclysmic disease.n:
