Test+Questions+2

__[] Test Question One:__ Why did the economies and cultures of the northern and southern colonies/states develope so differently?

__Sectional Division:__ Their differences in climate and geography eventually led to different life styles and arguments called the sectional division.

__SOUTH__ The souths climate played a large role in why its economy developed differently from the north. This mostly revovles around the cotton. The climate up North isnt suitable for cotton to grow and this gave the south that advantage in bringing in more money by being the ones who grew the cotton. This also talked about plantation systems. Because of the good weather that brought good cotton and crop the plantation systems were formed. But the south was against new infrastructure and modernizing themselves. They were against change and wanted to keep their region agricultural. Although this hurt them manufactrurally, they had many of the countries crops grown there and made alot of money and kept a good economy that way. Another way that really influenced the south was the africans. The south was deffinitaly in favor of slavery. This was obviously morally wrong, but they didnt know it at the time. Although it was wrong it actually helped their economy in a weird way. The slavery raised the number of people in the south which meant there were far more people to do work. There were more people in the south to work on plantations, in factories, and when the husband and wives were all away the children were still cared for by house slaves too. Slavery was a dispute in the south though, over time some people were in favor of it and some werent. This lead to many problems such as the KKK. This was a clan of white supremesies that were against all blacks and strongly believed that whites were superior and that africans should always be enslaved. __NORTH__ The north was very different from the south in many ways. But being different didnt nessasarily hurt their economy. Unlike the south the north was in favor of more Infrastructure. The wanted to modernize their lands. They also were more about manufacturing than agricultural matters. This included steel and metal productions and factory made products. They were more "up-to-date" in comparison to the south. But both regions had their benfits over the other. The south could buy everything else they couldnt grow from the north. and the north could purchase grown goods from the south that they couldnt produce because of the climate differential.

__Question Two__ Evaluate the proccess and outcomes of reconstruction following the civil war: in 1865 the thirteenth amendment was passed. it was ratified, slavery was then abolished. hundreds maybe even thousands of slaves were then freed. this same year congress came up with the freedmans bureau, this was to help on those freed slaves to get on their feet. later that year president abraham lincoln was assasinated, leaving vice president andrew johnson in charge. Johnson then proposed the plan of Reconstruction. During this year the "Black Code" was also passed from missippi. the north saw these so called codes as a way to help with the recent abolishment of slavery. but it was actually a southern disguise. it was a disguise that the people of the south formed to keep the negros how they wanted them, not only politically but economically, educationally, and financially. During the times of these black codes many people grew to a gang affiliated group from tenessee. this group was and still is known as the Ku Klux Klan or the KKK. throughout the many years of reconstruction people came together and fought hated loved befriended killed and much more with eachother. But mostly because of a major concern of reconstruction, slavery. it was abolished but it took many years for people of the U.S. to come to agreements. Unfortunately still today there are white supremesis pushing with the KKK to wipe out the Blacks of our country.

__Question Three__ Discribe the cowboys of the wild wild west. This is probably one of my favorite times of our American History. I love the whole cowboys and indians thing. which was actually the biggest part of this time period. in a lot of ways the west was like the early east. in the east there was dispute between the whites and blacks and how the whites persecuted enslaved and treated the blacks like they were animals. the cowboys of the west followed in many similar activites. they mostly did this with the indians though. the cowboys were convinced the indians were all savages, instead of knowledgable men of the land. the indians were "native" to the land and of course they didnt want to give up their land but the white man were convinced that was what would be done. Many of the cowboys of this time were very foul men. saloons and bars were very popular and these men were often drinking or drunk. they were big gamblers in these bars which caused fist fights and shoot outs, lead to a duel out in the streets. if anything these were the men that were acting as savages. many people of the orient such as china also traveled to the west. but because of the white mans insecurity and large egos they also inslaved and mistreated these people, even when they were royalty of their homeland. the orients would be pushed to work long hard hours in mines digging, moving large rocks, and making blasts, often without much food or water. in the west they were in big search of gold and not very big on urbanizing these territories. it was all about the big open spaces and the farms and ranches. the west was very dry but also had many fertile lands with good fertile soil for farming. i really wish i could go back to these time to meet the many amazing people of these lands.
