In April 1865, General Robert Lee(who led the confederates) surrendered to the union General Ulysses Grant. The Civil War was over. * CONSEQUENCES OF THE CIVIL WAR Less than a week after the South surrendered, a confederate sympathizer killed President Lincoln.

Technological advancements, quality of everyday life, and poor working conditions became major issues raised by the growth of Manchester, and people reacted to these issues in both negative and positive ways. Manchester became a hub of technological advancements, causing both positive and negative effects on everyday life. As seen on the maps in Document 1, in the course of a hundred years, Manchester's size more than tripled. Canals and railroads were built and much more area was being developed. This would mean a much larger population working in factories and more people easily able to move to Manchester to work.
This division was result of where they live and personal sentiments. People believes that American Revolution war was fought only because North want’s to abolish the slavery and south don’t, but in fact there were man y other reasons for the war between the North and Southern states. The Civil war lasted for 4 years, from 1861 to 1865. It was between the American People, or generally known as Northern States vs. Southern States. The Southern states seceded from United States of America and establish their own nation calls The Confederated States of America and people are more often called rebels.
Soon the new economic process was largely controlled by the utilisation of iron, as well as electric and steam power. Advancements in science and technology proved to result in a new level of productivity within many fields. The execution of electric telegraphy, telephones, typewriters, adding machines and cash registers, paper folding machines, the rotary press, the phonograph, and incandescent lamps spanned the nation. The austere industry of steel and iron continued to function, despite the progression of technology. Yet, the growth of independent industrial enterprises concerned businessmen.
One reason that slavery was a major cause of the Civil War is that it was the reason why the Confederates wanted to secede from the Union. In Document A, Calhoun says that he believes that slavery could cause disunion. He wrote this document in March of 1850, which was just a few years before the Civil War started in 1861. Also, his document is directed towards Senators, which was also in a debate over slavery for America. Calhoun was presenting to the Senate the issues that could arise if slavery was to be messed with and/or taken away.
Year 8 change assessment 1. What changed in the iron industry between 1750-1900 In the 1760s Britain had plenty of iron ore and limestone for the industry. Iron was very important because it was used for tools, machinery, ships, railways and trains. Iron was exploited, manufacturing moved from being made in people's homes to being made in purpose built factories. Due to this more factories and industries are made therefore it makes more jobs for the people which benefits them because more money gives a better quality of life.
Industrialization had a greater impact in America because it was the motor that propelled urbanization. The creation of factories made people move from the farm to city. Because of this movement, cities started growing, buildings started to appear and new behaviors and manners were adopted. Even though urbanization is the reason of the growth cities and culture without industrialization it wouldn’t have been
It included several complex methods to end the war, the most important of which were the three "Reconstruction Amendments" to the Constitution: the 13th (1865), the 14th (1868) and the 15th (1870). From the Union side, the goals of Reconstruction were to guarantee the Union victory on the battlefield by reuniting the Union by guaranteeing a republican form of government for the ex-Confederate states, and to permanently end slavery. Although even after the war had been won and amendments had been passed there was still a great division amongst the north and south with that, groups like the Ku Klux Klan came to emerge. The "Liberal Republicans", who argued the war goals had been achieved and reconstruction should end, ran a ticket in 1872 but were finally defeated when Grant was reelected. In 1874 Democrats took control of Congress and opposed reconstruction.
Radical Republicans and abolitionists, on the other hand, felt the entire purpose of the war should be to permanently abolish slavery from the nation. As casualties mounted in the first year of the war, public opinion began to sway toward the side of abolitionism, and on September 22, 1862, Lincoln issued the historic Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in Confederate-held territories forever free as of January 1, 1863. When the Civil War ended with Union victory in 1865, it became the task of northern lawmakers to decide what to do with the decimated South and the millions of newly freed
