1. yes they were more likely to own more slaves cause the politicians were wealthy and the more wealthy you are the more slaves you will have.
2. yes because slaves is a sign of wealth if you have a bunch of slaves means you must have a lot of money. So they are higher level politicians they will want to show that they are higher level politicians by buying more slaves then the lower level politicians.
3. the political system was important for them cause the politicians were rich which means they are the lawyers of there day.
4. Alright in the three different stages which are the initial states to secede then the second states to secede then its come down to the ones that remained in union. They all were very close in range ushually it was around 10% of slave that white family's didn't own.
5. They all were within the same range
6. The north had way more money then the south. but mostly the north had more of everything besides slaves.
7. yes because you cant go to war if you don't have the supplies to go to war with. North had more railroads wich means they could get stuff in places faster food, medical, guns, ammunition. North had way more farm acerage so that means they're army is well fed and healthy. Manufactureing workers North had way more of and that means the north was less likely to run short of supplies.
8. cannot answer question not good anufe information
9. yes the more troops the better but you want troops that know what they are doing.
10. The deaths of the civil war was like no other war in the world. no other war beats it. and theres only one war that even comes 200 thousand deaths neer it which is world war 2 but you could add the deaths of world war 2 and world war 1 together it still dont beat it.
11. because when you get shot in the civil war its not the bullet that kills you its the infections and all that kind of stuff.
12. To take the land from every rebel which will give them about 394,000,000 acres of land and give every adult freedman 40,000 acres of land. The property of rebels will pay for the nations debt. The rebel states will be divided into military districts and made subject to military authority of united states.
13. to give every man some land and to free the schools and to protect all persons in their rights of persons and property. divide rebel states into districts.
14. The commanding officer will have to much power and the people would be treated as slaves.
15. Because not everybody agreed with them some people liked the older ways.
16. That Every adult freedman would have 40,000 acres, Southern society will be changed, To inflict damage to the rebel belligerents.

Native americans
1. The impact gambling has had on native American tribes isn't a lot because not all tribes have casinos even though im shore they all want to. only 240 of 562 American Indian tribes own casinos like foxwoods is owned my Indians. Tribes receive $4 of every $10 that Americans wager at casinos. Indian casinos earn $26.7 billion in 2008 revenues.
2. Because so much has happened to the American Indians we cant make up for all of it. And the British didn't even treat us as bad as we treated the native Americans so we have no idea what it feels like to be treated that bad.
3. Because they were the only people that the united states made a treaty with and we had our government watch them. And the conflicts we had with them is like no other. They shouldn't be named as a regular minority.
4. -making treaties with them-treaties. treaties with the American Indians were always against them and weren't followed on the American point
- Trial Of Broken Treaties-trial of broken treaties. Trial of Broken treaties is about renewal of contracts and reconstruction of Indian communities and securing an Indian future in America.
- Forcing onto reservations-reservations-
The first reservation was made in 1851 in Oklahoma. But relations with the settlers and natives did not work out so in 1860s Ulysses S Grant made a peace policy to try and help the settlers and natives get along better.
- Dispatching there children to boarding schools-boarding school - the first boarding school was made in 1878 and captain Richard H Pratt at a abandoned military post in Pennsylvania.
5. Disease of the poor- To me that means the lowest of the low. health wise they are always getting sick and money wise most of them are poor. Round it all up most of them are poor and are more likely to get a disease.
6. yes John is right it is not a disgrace its only human nature for two completely different type of people to fight with one another. what we did then is what we thought we had to do. plus we wanted the land and if your strong anufe to take something cause your powerful anufe your gonna do it in most cases anyway.
7. Removal- removal means like there is someone invading there place so they hafto leave
allotment- well we took a bunch of land away and gave them a little back so they could live somewhere
termination- when we invade and kill a whole tribe or they destroy us.
Relocation- when the Americans want the land so they take it and give the Native Americans some land somewhere else
Assimilation- we did this to them when we took there children and put them in boarding schools.
self Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
termination- Native Americans are probably the most self determined people in the world well at least was
8.
SELF DETERMINATION
Self Determination is the dedication you have to the things you want to get done or a life goal that you got to work to get to. Native Americans live by Self Determination they never would have lasted as long as they did if they didn't have as much self determination as they had. But there Self Determination to the federal government, But i guess they had a lot of determination to beat the federal government. Because you got to think why would they respect something that doesn't respect them back or would rather them to just disappear for good.

what i would want?
What i would want?
What i want from a leader when this country is at crisis is a leader that will act and act fast. i want him to be aggressive about his decision to because thats how we was and i think thats the way we should become again. like if any country does something we don't like we point missiles and have are hand on the button ready to push. because with are poor excuses of presidents weave had the last cupple times is giving america the wrong image. We need the president that does try to keep the peace but if he's pushed he will push back but a lot harder. And i want our leader to have military service done so he knows what it likes to be shot at instead of sending people in and not knowing what he's putting them threw

Like Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain's last stand at Gettysburg's Little Round Top seventy-nine years earlier, the battle for Bloody Ridge was the crucial land battle for Guadalcanal. On the night of September 12 and 13, 1942, most of Major General Kiyotaki Kawaguchi's converging battalions were not in their assigned places for the attack on the ridge. As darkness fell, Kawaguchi's haphazard first attack fell on the Raiders' C Company and attached machine-gun platoon from E Company, forcing several platoons to withdraw. Robert Youngdeer, an E Company scout-rifleman, was manning a strong point along the main approach of the Japanese attack that night.
We heard them splashing across the river. They weren't very quiet. We could hear them jabbering away. They weren't attacking; they just were coming down the fire lane trying to find us. Soon they were all around our position. I could hear the bolts being pulled back on their weapons. Next they sprayed the bushes near us. We didn't fire because we knew if we did, we'd give away our position and they'd overwhelm us. So we threw grenades into them as they went around us, toward the ridge. We just kept throwing grenades. There wasn't the kind of fear you might think. There wasn't any panic or anything.
They came back through us again. Like I said, they weren't very quiet. They were making a lot of noise, talking, yelling to one another, and I heard someone getting beat up on the left. I can still hear the screams. He was begging for mercy. They [the Japanese] were berating him. Later on, I found that it was one of my friends, Ken Ritter. I'd seen him the day we went into our position. He had dysentery and was in bad shape, laying alongside the trail. As I went by, he looked up and smiled real weak-like. He didn't have anything to say. I heard from people later on that they bayoneted him.
When daylight came, well, a few more people were hit and killed by snipers. I was wounded in the morning. I finally got out of there. I was flown off the island. They were flying the wounded off.
I have a granite memorial in the garden where I live. It says "Red Mike and his gallant men, Edson's Raiders, South Pacific, WWII, Semper Fidelis." I have an American and Marine Corps flag behind it. It's my way of remembering those who didn't return.
i think what Robert Youngdeer went threw is just crazy. what he went threw isnt something you can just forget about, i mean honestly imagine listening to a man screaming and u do nuthing, then you find out that it was ur friend and hes very week cause he was beaten. Then snipers are takeing your platoon. then your shot. CRAZY -curtis watson 2/25/10 8:56 AM

It's tough to talk about this stuff. It's been fifty-eight years. It gives me the chills thinkifvng about it.
The Japanese were trying to outflank us and looked like they were going to overrun our position. I remember their screams. They screamed a lot, especially when they were charging. It made you alert in a hurry even after being up for two days and you're ready to fall asleep.
They kept charging, but that's where the grenades came in. We threw grenades all night long. I remember rolling the grenades down. We were up on the hill and they were below us. They kept feeding us boxes of grenades. I remember the sound of Plante's BAR. He kept it going all night long. A lot of guys spent a terrible night out there.
The 1st Parachute Battalion was with us. I remember one of the paratroopers got shot. The corpsman came over because of his cry for help, and he [the corpsman] got shot right through the heart. His name was Smith, so when I saw Smith go down, I grabbed him and carried him down the hill. I didn't think he was going to die. When I got him down to the first aid station, I saw one of our doctors cry. [chokes up] Old Smitty was my friend, a real nice guy, and I broke down also.

I thought that Ira was a good man and that he had the right idea. It is always a sad thing when a human dies or gets really hurt.
