When the Cold War began, many countries started to immediately take sides, either with the Soviets, or with the U.S. Even though it started in Europe and Asia, the Cold War eventually reached Latin America. In 1975, right-wing dictatorships of Latin America, (mainly Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia), joined forces in a campaign to eradicate communist ideas, and Soviet influence. They were Technically and militarily supported by the U.S until 1978. Of course, even though the U.S was supporting dictators, it was far more important to stop the evil Communists!
But what was it that set this country overboard? We were doing great with public peaceful affairs, or so we thought. Before the Civil War in 1860, the United States and the citizens of the country, the Americans tried to compromise to each other when political disputes arose. Although the United States were doing alright until this time to compromise with political tensions, it was inevitable that force would need to come into play. It would start with the Tariff of abominations, an then the North and the South would just come to hate each other hastily for their different views on slavery.

Territorial Issues Before the onset of the Great American Civil War, a huge debate was raging among the citizens, and politicians of the Untied States. Slavery was the main issue that separated the Northern and Southern states, but another, more complicated issue was at hand. As settlers began to talk about the “Manifest Destiny,” and expand westward, new territories were being given statehood. The formation of these new states rose to a new question: should these new states welcome slavery within their boundaries? Three distinct positions were taken on this issue.
The Civil War was one of the bloodiest wars in America that was fought by the conflict among our own people. The Civil War was fought mostly between the people for many different reasons, but it was the result of years of disagreements. The Civil War was caused separation between the north and south States. Slavery shall be abolished in order to reunite our country, United States of America. According to the article of abolition of slavery, “The two regions fought a civil war from 1861 to 1865 that exploited the distinctions between the northern states and the southern states.” This shows why the Civil War was being fought.

Lesson 2 Journal Entry Objective 1 1. I would guess the main causes of the Civil War would be the issue of slavery and the opposing views of each section of the United States. Since Northerners were beginning to oppose slavery, the South saw that as a threat to their economy. While the North embraced change, the South wanted to continue the static lifestyle. These causes ultimately led to the Civil War, which was a turning point in American history because of its radical results.
Cold War: Vietnam Manifesting from post-World War II tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union, the Cold War (1947-1991) was primarily characterized by the rivalry between both nations and their allies, which lasted for much of the second half of the 20th century. The tension from both sides grew out of proportion due to the political and ideological differences between capitalism and totalitarianism, as well as democracy and communism. Although both sides refrained from any direct confrontation, they actively competed for spheres influence internationally by supporting regional wars against each other. The major conflicts or hot spots include the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the war in Afghanistan.
Title Page The War that Made America US History to 1877 It is accurate to say that the French and Indian War shaped America. When the war was being fought, several key things transpired to help develop this country: the colonists defined their own identity as a community, conflicts between colonists and Britain escalated, and the relationship between America and Britain strained as the colonist grew tired of unfair treatment. These three factors vitally changed how the colonists responded to various taxes that Britain imposed upon them. The first two years of the war was close to a “catastrophe” for Britain. In order for Britain to win the war, they needed to alter their war strategies.
American Civil War A Country Divided The political and controversial issue of slavery was a contributing factor and major cause of the division of the country and basis for the American Civil War (1861-1865). Federal laws contained in The Compromise of 1850, including the Fugitive Slave Act, increased existing tensions between the culturally different Northern and Southern states of the Union. The Fugitive Slave Act led to the increase of abolitionists, personal liberty laws, the Underground Railroad and the formation of the antislavery Republican Party. The Fugitive Slave Act also led to the creation of the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which caused further division and confrontation between the territories. The election of Republican Abraham Lincoln as President in 1860 caused the secession of the Southern states from the Union, the establishment of the Confederate States of America in 1861 and the ultimate onset of the American Civil War.
