Portugal, however, had her own problems to contend with in the form of the Napoleonic Wars that saw the departure of the Portugal royal family and selected elite to the shores of Brazil. This can be seen as the first serious steps leading up to the Brazilian Independence of September 7, 1822 seeing as the factors concerning this independence were predominately internationally related particularly Luso-Brazilian tensions. During the Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815), Portugal sided with Britain turning her back on France who was on a mission to prevent European trading with Britain. In an effort to escape the invasion of Napoleon's army and to protect the holding of Portugal and the colony of Brazil, the Portuguese royal family along with approximately 15,000 elites made a self-preservation move to Rio De Janiero making it the defacto capital.

What one liked the other did not, for example, the confederate states (South) wanted to keep slavery around because it was very important to them and the union (North) did not find the need to keep it around. The emancipation of slaves depended on who won the war or not which caused more problems than expected. President Lincoln, just by going off of the fact that he asked the soldiers to only sign up for three months shows that he did not expect the war to last as long as it did.

The Texians became quite displeased with Mexico’s shift towards centralism and their abolition of slavery in 1831.

When slaves fled, they started to practice the Capoeira again in the quilombos. Since these quilombos were often chased after and hunted down, the Capoeira was used more as a fighting style instead of a dance.

The African American troops in the movie Glory fought with their lives in hopes of winning the war to achieve freedom. Their goal was to abolish slavery completely and prevent it from harming many people.
Eventually leading to the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861. This all began with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1847, providing new land in the south-western territories. However, the main problem was what to do with this new found land.
