Civil War
The Missouri compromise was a compromise made by the North and South that was a line that basically split America in half horizontally. The compromise said that the Northern states would be free states and the southern states would be slave states, with the exception that Missouri would be a slave state. This led to civil war because the South wanted all of America to be slave states and the North didn't want slaves.
The Fugitive slave act was a law that said any slaves caught in the North would be returned to their slave owners. It also said that any slave owner could take a free slave and use him or her as a slave. Police were given bonuses to capture escaped slaves and send them back down to the South.
The underground railroad was a trail that led slaves to freedom. The conductor of this was Harriet Tubman. There were "stations" along this trail that were safe places for slaves to stay. This was a cause of the civil war because this was a way slaves were escaping from their slave owners.
Kansas- Nebraska Act was where the state would decide if it was a slave or free state by popular souvernty. This led to the civil war because the states could make their own decision and the state would not all get along.
Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin. The cotton gin was a great invention and the slaves thought it would make their work so much easier. In reality is made their life harder because now that there was a machine that took the seeds out of cotton, the slaves had to plant more, by hand.
Industrialization is where the North had machines and factories. The South didn't have machines other than the cotton gin so they needed slaves to do their work because they didn't have machines.
Food rations for the North were 12 oz of pork, 16 oz of slated beef and 22 oz of bread. The south had 12 oz of bacon, 20 oz of salted beef and 16 oz of bread.
The north had tents & rubber blankets. The South didn't have any of that. The Confederates stole a lot of the Unions blankets and tents because they didnt have them.
The Unions uniforms were warm and lined with wool. The confederates were called "butternuts" because their uniforms were that color. They were also not as nice and didn't have as much room for supplies as the Unions uniforms did.
A lot of death on both sides was caused by disease. There was a lot of sickness and not a lot of medical help.
Free Time was spent by both sides playing cards, playing baseball, reading the bible and just talking. The Unions would also write home sometimes because they were given paper and ink to write.
Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a book called "Uncle Tom's Cabin, which showed the truth and harsh of slavery.

Robert E. Lee was the confederate general. He surrendered because his army was outnumbered and they couldn't make it to the Appotomax courthouse without being attacked. They made a deal that Ulysses S. Grant would feed his starving army also.

Abraham Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which stated that all slaves in Confederate states would now be free. Slave owners would now be mad because they don't have their own slaves to do their work. Slaves in the confederate states would be so happy that they are now free. The Unions were probably a little upset because now they know they have to fight against the Confederates.
Railroads in the South were used to transport goods and Railroads in the North were used to send supplies to their troops
Farms in the North were much smaller than the farms in the South. The North had about 1,000 acre farms. The South had 1,000+ acres or farms.
-
Slave population in the north and south was 400,000. There was a lot more free population in the North than in the South because of the Missouri Compromise.
The Gettysburg Address was a statement with Lincoln basically saying that we can't do the work that the soldiers have already done for us, so the North needs to win the war.
-
The economy is the North depending on Manufacturing and commerce and the south relying on crops and slaves. This caused civil war because the Confederates would argue they needed slaves to do their work because the north had factories and machines.
