Because the technology of the Civil war wasn’t so advance It was referred to as the last old fashion war, or also the first modern war. Many people tried to improve technology to help the war, but two deadliest technological improvements were the rifle and the minie ball, it was a soft lead bullet that was even more deadly then the earlier bullets they made. They were lots of weapons but the most lethal ones were hand grenades and land mines. Another tech was invented through this time also. It was the ironclad ship, which could splinter wooden ships by ramming them. But also the ironclad ship can withstand common fire and resist burning The Civil War increased power and authority for the federal government, when they passed laws that included income tax and conscription laws. These laws gave more control over individual citizens, and no state threatened succession again. The Civil War also widened the economic gap between the North and the South. The economy of northern states boomed, while southern states faced devastation when slavery ended, and when most of the region’s industry and farmland where ruined.
Emancipation proclamation feed only those slaves who lived in states that were behind Confederate lines. The government had to decide what to do about the border dates, where slavery still existed. The president believed that the only solution was to make an constitutional amendment destroying slavery. After time had passed by, the thirteenth amendment was ratified at the end of 1865. The Us Constitution now stated, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duty convicted, shall exist within the United States.”
Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865 at Ford's Theater in Washington. He was killed by John Wilkes Booth, an actor and a Southern sympathizer. After the assassination, John Wilkes Booth fled, and was caught and executed twelve days later. While Lincoln's body was carried from Washington to hometown of Springfield, Illinois, taking 14 days. Approximately, one third of the entire Union showed up to mourn the president. The Civil War and slavery were over, but now the country faced a few new problems. Like how to restore the Southern states into the Union, and how to integrate 4 million freed Africans into the U.S.

You put in a lot of information into this and did a really good job. But there were a few mistakes like in the 1st line, it should be "advanced" and the "It" shouldn't be capitalized. And I think you might be missing a period after "burning" on the 11th line. Other that that, it was a great read.
ReplyDeleteVery informative, however, just to be picky, I believe it may be "old fashioned" rather than "old fashion"
ReplyDeleteThere was a lot of thorough information here, but be sure to give a nice shift from topic to topic to help the reader along. Also, there were just a few typos in there you might want to fix up. Besides that everything looks according and I like your foreshadowing at the end of the post.
ReplyDeleteAlthough you had a lot of grammatical and punctuation errors (missing periods, comma splices, "advanced" instead of "advance" in the first sentence), I think you guys had a lot of great facts. The first paragraph didn't flow very well but maybe next time just try a spelling & grammar check before you submit your post. Good job guys :D
ReplyDeleteYou made very informative posting, but I see some grammar problems . In the first line, "advance" should changed into "advance" and "It" should not be capitalized. If you change some mistakes, I think it would be a great posting.
ReplyDeleteVery informative posting, but contained few grammatical errors. Revise and this could flow very nicely. Good summary
ReplyDeleteit looks more like a blob of information. try structuring the posting.
