The Northerners hated this law. It also caused many more people to look into abolitionism. I believe that these are some of the most important causes of the Civil War. These causes are Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the issue of slavery in the territories, and Northerners hating the fugitive slave law. As you can see, they are very important contributing factors in causing the Civil

Lincoln had
Since there are such differences between the wealthy and the poor in this country there're also large differences in the system of education from place to place. Throughout the years many have tried different solutions to attempt to close the gap. Under the Bush administration the No Child Left Behind Act was developed to address the Achievement gap. Since this Act, there has been a large amount of conflict concerning both the completion and the impact that the act has actually had on the achievement gap as it relates to Black and White students. This continuing challenge is deeply harmful to the African American community, to our state, our nation, and our democracy.
Marcos Valdez A-3 U.S. History AP/DUAL October 8, 2014 Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination that Changed America Forever [pic] “Killing Lincoln” In the book “Killing Lincoln,” the authors recount one of the most important events in American history which undoubtedly changed the course of the nation forever.

Hitler then took away the “Power of the People” by replacing parliament with a self proclaimed dictatorship, which most Germans welcomed. Hitler was often described as a “Leader that got mad with power” as he lead a war that lead to many, many people dying. This so called “madness” leads to him taking over Poland and starting the war, consequently meaning Germany broke the “Treaty of Versailles”. After Germany took over Poland, Britain declared war on Germany as they refused to leave from Germany and the fact that they broke the “Treaty of Versailles”. After Britain declared war on Germany, France joined in with Britain as they felt threatened that Germany was going to take over them.
Jonathan Trujillo June1, 2011 Cp English Mrs. Fernandez Macbeth: “Pawn of Fate or of Free Will?” In the tragic play “Macbeth”, written by Sir William Shakespeare, we see how a man by the name of Macbeth begins as a noble and loyal thane who would do anything for the king’s sake. But when the chance comes he kills the king and becomes king. Then finally after all that they found out he did it and kill him in battle. But was this because of his choosings or was it because he was to become like this because of fate? Possibly he can be a little of both.
The debate over whether prisoners should be allowed the right to vote is a heated issue. The laws vary from country to country, and even from state to state in the United States. The laws governing prisoners' right to vote are often referred to as disenfranchisement laws. Globally, there is a concern about whether these laws single out poor people or specific races of people. Every human has rights but they also come with responsibilities to maintain that right.
Caesar had the ambition for a lot of power power and to ultimately be king, even though he tried to hide it. As a result, the men of the senate planned to assassinate him because he had too much power. Hence, Caesar’s ambition to have power indirectly caused his death. In addition, the senate’s ambition to overthrow Caesars caused them to do evil. Another example of this is Adolf Hitler during World War II.

Racism is like a disease, it is capable of spreading and infesting people’s minds and like any other illness, this needs to be cured. African-Americans in the USA have suffered racism immensely since the very beginning and have been trying to fight against discrimination and injustice for a very long time, in fact some still are. Blacks were classified as second-class citizens, especially since the Americans gained an upper hand from their quest for independence. Although we do not face discrimination to that extent today, the process of getting here and overcoming discrimination was long and definitely not easy for the racially oppressed groups. The inhuman nature of racism against the African-Americans back in the 19th and 20th century is definitely seen as a dark part of America’s history.
