History of America

Thesis: The ending of slavery came after the civil war after a conflict ensued between the northern and the southern states, with each bloc having a different perception concerning slavery. The history of America is built along with a series of events that have grown significantly to shape current America.

1. The three-fifths rule was an attempt to discriminate the slaves from taking part in the policymaking activities in America.
2. The first outcome of the three-fifth rule was the compromise on the constitution.
3. the three-fifths rule created an equal number of free and slave states and affected several outcomes that required the counting of supporters of an opinion.
4. The Missouri compromise led to two significant outcomes and was aimed at solving the slavery menace.
5. The compromise managed to keep peace in America between the anti-slavery states and the slavery states.
6. Secondly, the compromise led to a negative impact on the issue of slavery since the gap between the slave states and the free states grew more significant, with more states applying to either be admitted in the slavery bloc or the free bloc.

• The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a countering effort against the Missouri compromise.

1. First, the split between pro-slavery and anti-slavery individuals widened.
2. Secondly, acts of violence grew up as the two groups fought to win dominance of the two states, Kansa and Nebraska.

10. Slavery had caused enmity and separation between the North and South, with the northern states advocating for the end of slavery
11. People from the northern states worked in industries while their counterparts in the southern states embraced slavery and continued to push for slavery
12. The states’ rights worsened the gap between the states with the southern states feeling that the federal government was gradually taking away power from the states.
