Is this a good U. S. History LEQ. Here is the prompt: By comparison, the South never had a chance to win the Civil War over the North. Support, refute, or modify this statement. My LEQ: During the 1800s sectional tensions between the North and South in the U. S. grew more and more prominent as time went on. Tensions grew so much that their difference in beliefs began to become apparent in various elections, politics, and state governments. Because of the conflicts and tension between the North and South, violence ensued in 1861 after the election of Abraham Lincoln. The South seceded and declared war on the Union known as the American Civil War. I believe that the South never had a chance to win the Civil War over the North because of their severe lack of resources, finances, population, and a strong government.

The South never had a real chance of winning the American Civil War from the start because the North was already a more developed country with railroads and an already established economy. During the war, we can see the Confederacy’s inability to fund the war when they have no other option other than to print more money and eventually cause inflation. While the North simply financed the war with taxes and an already established economy. The North could have carried the war on for longer than the South with an established source of income and government. The North had significantly more resources than the South as the Union had numerous railroads and factories, unlike the Confederacy. Even if the South had a great number of resources, Scott developed the Anaconda Plan in 1861 which essentially isolated the South from a number of trading ports including the Mississippi River. As you can see in these examples the Confederacy just lacks the number of resources and money needed to defeat the North in the Civil War.

Two more reasons why the Confederacy never had a chance at winning the Civil War against the Union was their huge difference in population and unestablished government. The Union consisted of 20 states while the Confederacy only had 11 states total. This massive difference in population proved to be a huge disadvantage for the Confederacy during the war as the Union had a larger army than the Confederacy. The Union also had a strong unified government that had been successful for many years. Meanwhile, the Confederacy was just a collection of rebellious states held together by Jefferson Davis. This was bad for the Confederacy because they were fighting the Union while they were still somewhat under the Union government’s rule as seen when the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1861 freeing all slaves in rebellious (confederate) states. As seen, all throughout the Civil War the South never had a chance to win the American Civil War.

The American Civil War in 1861 closely relates to the year 1835 when Texas declared Independence from Mexico because they didn’t agree with the laws set in place by Santa Anna, specifically his rules on slavery. Ironically, independent Texas went on to become one of the 11 states in the Confederacy during the Civil War.

answer: born in saint-dié, in the vosges department, france, he studied law, and was called to the bar at paris in 1854,[2] but soon went into politics, contributing to various newspapers, particularly to le temps. he attacked the second french empire with great violence, directing his opposition especially against baron haussmann, prefect of the seine department. a series of his articles in le temps was later republished as the fantastic tales of haussmannlaxupa (1868).[2]

straight down to hell mate

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.

can't do the whole thing, hope this

the vast majority of ballots have been counted nearly two weeks after one of the biggest political upsets in modern u.s. history catapulted donald trump to the presidency.

estimates show more than 58 percent of eligible voters went to the polls during the 2016 election, nearly breaking even with the turnout rate set during the last presidential election in 2012, even as the final tallies in states like california continue to be calculated, according to statistics collected by the u.s. elections project.

but among those figures were stark contrasts in key states that swing the election to trump — in ohio, wisconsin, iowa, michigan and elsewhere — indicating the president-elect’s leap from long-shot candidate to the most powerful political position in the world may have happened in part because of apathy toward hillary clinton’s candidacy, especially among the democratic base, several political scientists and organizations monitoring voter turnout told the pbs newshour.

while clinton is leading the popular vote by more than 1.5 million over trump as of sunday, she trails president obama’s 2012 totals by more than 2 million ballots — a chasm that may have cost her the election, said david becker, co-founder of the center for election and innovation and research.

“several million voters didn’t come out to vote,” becker said. “which is telling me that this idea of the trump wave, a huge number of voters shifting over to trump, is certainly not the story.”
