Political analysis of America1783 and 1860 Civil War

Introduction

The civil wars in America were the bloodiest times of the history. Its causes are deeply rooted in the history of the country. Slavery and crystallization were the main causes of this scenario. Initially, slavery was practiced all over the country as "natural" than the rest of the Americas, where the institution was widespread. There were slaves to both Boston and New York and Charleston or Baltimore. But the perception was not the same as it was in the South or the North. In the first, Slavery was seen by those who practiced it as the cornerstone of their economy and, from there, with all their "lifestyle". The mild climate or subtropical South allowed to crops with high added value that Europe consumed but did not abundantly on his land: cotton, tobacco, sugar cane. But these crops require a lot of manpower, for very hard work. Slavery was therefore a boon to Southern planters: An exploitable labour to thank you that cost them the food and shelter. This ensured their "owners" who were very comfortable income wealth of the Southern States (Sam, 12).

Period of 1783 to 1860

After American independence, the United States was faced with potential conflicts at sea and on the western frontier. The United States was a minor military power during this period, with a modest army and navy. The traditional mistrust against regular armies combined with the exaggerated belief in the efficacy of volunteer militia units prevented the development of a well trained and professional officer corps.

Federal states against the federal government established their dominance, in 1810. They applied a policy which favoured them stating 'the right of states'. Issue of slavery was a main problem. It was practiced all over north and south. In the south, slavery was heavily dependent upon. They were mainly used for cultivation of cotton, tobacco and sugarcane. In the north slavery was adopted at a very low level. The struggle for independence made the abolition of slavery legitimate which denied an entire population of slaves. From 1780 to 1804 several states gradually abolished slavery. In 1808 trafficking was prohibited (Donald, 171).

Proponents of the policy of Jefferson preferred an army and navy as small as possible, fearing that a large army too often leads the U.S. in foreign wars and it would allow a tyrant to seize power. In 1787, the Founding Fathers had raised the question of the abolition of slavery, but considering slavery as a form of ownership, they had found nothing. In 1807, the abolition of the Treaty, agreed in 1787, comes into force. But slavery did not disappear. Instead, it grows. "The breeding of slaves" replaces the deals because the cultivation of cotton requires a large labour force. Slavery became the cornerstone of ...
