Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (22 April 1870 – 21 January 1924), better known by his alias Lenin, was a Russian revolutionary, politician, and political theorist. He served as the first and founding head of government of Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 to 1924.
In post-revolutionary Russia, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) is established, comprising a confederation of Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, and the Transcaucasian Federation (divided in 1936 into the Georgian, Azerbaijan, and Armenian republics). Also known as the Soviet Union, the new communist state was the successor to the Russian Empire and the first country in the world to be based on Marxist socialism.During the Russian Revolution of 1917 and subsequent three-year Russian Civil War, the Bolshevik Party under Vladimir Lenin dominated the soviet forces, a coalition of workers’ and soldiers’ committees that called for the establishment of a socialist state in the former Russian Empire. In the USSR, all levels of government were controlled by the Communist Party, and the party’s politburo, with its increasingly powerful general secretary, effectively ruled the country. Soviet industry was owned and managed by the state, and agricultural land was divided into state-run collective farms.
The Kansas/Nebraska Act was an Act that repealed the Missouri Compromise. It allowed people in Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether or not they would allow slavery in their borders.
Missouri compromise was a compromise to preserve the balance of power in the US Congress between slave and slave free states. It admitted Missouri as a slave state and admitted Maine as a free state. It was declared unconstitutional later because the US Supreme Court decided that the Congress did not have the power to prohibit slavery.
Dred Scott v. Sandford decision was a US Supreme Court decision that held that black people whose ancestors were imported in the US and sold as slaves could not be an American citizen and had no right to sue the government. This decision spurred anti-slavery elements in the North and was a catalyst for the American Civil War.
Fugitive slave act was an act that required that all escaped slaves should be returned to be returned to their masters and all free states citizens should cooperate with that.
Bleeding Kansas was a series of violent civil confrontations in the US. This lasted between 1854 and 1861 and consisted of electoral fraud, raids, assaults, murders carried out by pro-slavery.
The CCC and WPA got people from a wide range of experiences together for the first time and broke apart some of the arbitrary lines that divided Americans. It allowed people from cities and the country and of different religions to live and work together and to see that there is more that unites us than divides us.
