Because of the loss of so many men during this war, the country suffered economically. With the abolishment of slavery, the south's economics suffered tremendously. Blacks could no longer be force to work the cotton and agricultural fields for free and many migrated north for better opportunities. This left the south with limited economic opportunities as they were not quick to become industrialized like the north was. Many immigrants settle in the northern region of the United States were job opportunities were much better. The cotton industry of the American south not only affected the economy of the southern states, it also affected countries overseas. Scotland is one of those countries. Because of the American Civil War and the loss of slave labor, Paisley, a city in Scotland suffered a major loss to its economy (Peters, 2001).
Since the Union won the American Civil War, it stands to reason that they were the party that was in charge. As such, they were able to revise the United States Constitution to suit their needs. The Articles of Confederation outline...
Article IX of the Confederation outlines the rights granted to the federal government. Although the states did retain some of their rights, it is clear that the article forbids any two or more states to enter into any type of treaty among other things. This may have been necessary to keep the country united instead of divided as it was previously with some states supporting slavery and some states against it. What is ironic is that the American Revolutionary War was fought so that the States could gain independence from the monarchy of England. What has happened is that this country has gone from the states being autonomous to each state falling under the rule and leadership of the federal government. The United States is not a monarchy, but it is somewhat patterned after one.

American Revolution New American History is full of many relevant events that have made a significant impact on the American History. Despite all the relevant things, it should be noted that America itself might not have been conceived if it had not been for the struggles that took place in the American Revolution. It was the starting point of the American history and the time when people were beginning to find
American History The Reconstruction exacerbated the regional differences between the northern and southern states. The exact conflicts that led to the Civil War in the first place remained for decades after General Lee surrendered at Appomattox, and shortly after President Lincoln was shot dead. The Reconstruction project illuminated the still-existing conflicts between Lincoln's successor Andrew Johnson and the Republican congress. Johnson attempted to straddle the fence and simultaneously appease the South
To understand the spirit of the Reconstruction crisis, one must understand the reality of the civil war, recognize that the generation of Americans caught up in the web of Reconstruction actually lived, actually confronted a situation, today totally alien to us, where countrymen killed countrymen, where political power involved more than the simple control of administration. (Benedict, 1973, p. 1) Americans were ill equipped to cope with the problem effectively.
American History During the 1940s, America had just experienced the onslaught of World War II. After massive fighting against the Axis power nations (Germany, Italy, and Japan), America, along with its allies in the war, was able to conclude the conflict by deciding to drop the atomic bomb in Japan.

Andrew Jackson married Rachel Jackson before her divorce from Lewis Robards was finalized and therefore was accused of marrying a married woman.

Jackson also championed Margaret O'Neill Timberlake, who married his secretary of war, John Eaton.
