NEWS PAPER


THE NORTH'S VICTORY

Today is the most glorious day in the history of the union, as the brave and even injured soldiers of the civil war join their famalies. Tears of joy are being cried as the wives and children rejoin their beloved husband and father. So dose tear of sadness are cried when the wives read the list of the unfortunate soldiers that died by the rifle. But both of these cases go back to what was their home but now are "ruins".

As the previously knowed as slaves, some 4 million freed people were starting thier new lives in a poor region with slow economic activity. As slaves, they had recived food and shelter. Now, after a lifetime of forced labor, many found themselves homeless, jobless, and hungry. Some freed slaves did choose to continue working on the plantations of their former masters. Others sought new jobs in the cities and in the West.

As the beloved president of the United States of America Abraham Lincoln died the vice president Andrew Johnson took over. Born poor in North Carolina Johnson grew up to become a talior. He learned to read and write with the help of his wife and later entered politics in Tenesse as a Democrate.

Our new president Johnson came up with a very simler recovery plan as the one Abraham Lincoln proposed to the congress before his assasination. Johnson's Reconstruction plan was the fallowing:

1- It pardoned southerners who swore allegiance to the Union.

2- It premited each state to hold a constitutional convention.

3- States were required to void secession, abolish slavery, and repudiate the Cofederate debt.

4- States could then hold elections and rejoin the Union.

War effects


War effects can also happen mentaly after or during the duty time of soldiers. Fierce combat and multiple deployments are taking a heavy psychological toll on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, where one in five fighters at lower ranks suffer mental health problems. But there are more harsher effects for example rising suicide rates and a shooting spree.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act: The Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by the U.S. Congress on May 30, 1854. It allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. The Act served to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which prohibited slavery north of latitude 36°30´.

Presidential Election: The central issue of the presidential election of 1860 was bound to be slavery. Battles over the spread of slavery to new territories and states had gripped the United States throughout the 1850s, and were especially intensified by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
