Johnson’s speech covers the issue of what rights

Lyndon B. Johnson's July 1964 speech dealt with Civil Rights, saying that we all believe that all men were created equal, but many are not treated equally. That civil rights law Johnson was going to sign had been filed by John F. Kennedy a year ago. The objective of the law was very simple, not to restrict the freedom of any American while he respects the rights of others, the only limit to be happy is his own ability and does not grant special treatment to any citizen.

here are some events that to cause increased conflict between the north and south

1) mexican cession- gaining modern day california, utah, arizona, and new mexico from mexico. caused southern and northern politicians to fight over whether or not there would be slavery in these newly acquired territories.

2) uncle tom's cabin- this famous book described the cruelty of slavery in the south during the antebellum period, causing more northerners to support abolition and southerners to resent the book as they felt it unfairly depicted southern society.

3) kansas- nebraska act- disagreements over whether or not kansas and nebraska would be free or slave states caused issues between northern and southern politicians in congress.

4) bleeding kansas- this fighting took place in kansas after congress allowed this territory to vote on whether or not they would have slavery. citizens were killed and buildings were destroyed during this fighting.
