As the periodic bloodshed continues in the Middle East, the search for
an equitable solution must come to grips with the root cause of the
conflict. The conventional wisdom is that, even if both sides are at
fault, the Palestinians are irrational “terrorists” who have no point of
view worth listening to. Our position, however, is that the
Palestinians have a real grievance: their homeland for over a thousand
years was taken, without their consent and mostly by force, during the
creation of the state of Israel. And all subsequent crimes — on both
sides — inevitably follow from this original injustice.
In my opinion, yes, there are still groups who are disenfranchised and not considered as an equal source of power in our democracy. An example of these people is those in the lower class of the society. In today's setting, only the 'representatives' have power and those whom they represent do not. <span />
The correct answer is:
North because its government had been in power longer
Explanation:
With Lincoln's election in 1861, Southern states believed they were no longer represented in the federal government, so they started to secede from the Union,<em> forming the Confederate States of America and naming Jefferson Davis as President. </em>
The North seemed stronger at the beginning of the Civil War (and it turned out it was) because the Union had been in power longer, and President Lincoln was the official President to the entire world, even though the South tried to win support from European countries. The federal government had power over the army and had naval power to block Southern ports and their economy.
The North also seemed stronger because of their bigger population and advanced industries.
