- 833: Confederate States Naval Technological Advances
- Confederate States Naval Technological Advances I have always enjoyed finding information about the Civil War, especially the Confederacy. To go along with that, I enjoy books about the Navy and military. I found my opportunity for a good and fun paper by combining these two into one subject. This subject is the Naval innovations, and events leading up to these innovations, proving the ingenuity of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War. The Confederate Navy was the mother of many technological advances. During the early stages of the war, navys on both sides were fairly small, and pretty much standard in armament. The Southern navy ...

- 835: Compromise Of 1861
- ... to think about slavery everyone knew that someday there had to be a crisis over the slavery issue. The dragon was put to sleep once again. In 1850, two years after the U.S. - Mexican War, the U.S. Congress faced another problem, that involved the North and south once again. The South was upset because California had come into the Union as a free state. Congress comes up with the ... problems between the North and south. From 1854 on, it would be all downhill for the United States of America, with a number of problems and questions over the slavery issue, eventually resulting in the Civil War.

- 836: Reconstruction
- ... on the south, and an entire race. In the South the Reconstruction period was a time of readjustment accompanied by disorder. Southern whites wished to keep blacks in a condition of quasi-servitude, extending few civil rights and firmly rejecting social equality.

Corruption there certainly was, though nowhere on the scale of the Tweed Ring, which at that time was busily looting New York City; but it is not possible to show that Republicans were more guilty than Democrats, or blacks than whites, in the scandals that did occur. If the Civil War was fought to set black slaves free, then Reconstruction proved to be a fight to limit their freedom. Political power was gained by former slaves during the late 1860s, but any power gained ...

- ... way of thinking because a quick look in the past is enough to show that the independence process is not instinctive. Many writers like Boyd Shafer and Louis Snyder have studied the subject since World War I in order to explain the subject but – as says Arthur Waldron – enclosing nationalism in a theory has proved to be a difficult task.

Tara Chand1 says that Indians were impressed by the evident superiority of their colons in war, in administration, and in industry.

- ... styles of dress, detesting any form of luxury or decadence. The name Puritan later became a catch-all label for the disparate groups who led much of the New World colonization and won the English Civil Wars.

These seamen made various claims of territorial annexation in America in an effort to outflank ... the English Established Church. As a result, there was an uneasy relationship between many colonial administrations and the royal government at home. Further to these tensions the 'colonies were split in their allegiances during the civil wars in Britain, but Charles I derived little useful help from those who supported his cause. The collapse of James II regime (1688-9) proved a blow to the efforts of Westminster to encroach on self-rule in North America.
