-No, people had different opinions about slavery, money, leadership, etc. It was a war waiting to happen.

-African Americans enocountered trouble finding a good paying job, recieving education, and finding a place to live.

-Imperialism increased the power of a country and gave it a greater population
-Imperialism also helped the Economy.
-The country being taken over would unfortunately have most of there rights taken away from them
-The Country's government would be overthrown

1. No, even thought i disagree with war, no matter how much people would have tried to talk out the issues, nothing would have been solved.
2. Segregation in schools, bathrooms, water fountains, & many were disrespected because of their race.
3. Imperialism helped the economy and gave a country a fresh start in goverment.
Imperialism destroys the country's previous government & took away peoples rights.

no, it would have not let us be where we are today.

threats from the KKK to not vote, higher cost for them to do things.

Good: better economy, new transportation for us.
Bad: child labor which let them work long hrs., slummy neighborhood unsanitary. -jeffrey taveras

- No, because the constitution and bill of rights did not promise freedom for women or african americans.

- African americans had to pass a literacy test in order to vote.

- +Better economy = more trade
+New transportation (Trains,steam powered ships)
-child labor (Unsafe & long hours)
-Small a[artments and dirty streets lead to imperialism.

1. Yes I think the American Civil War could have been avoided mainly because if the south agreed and looked at the good in no slavery we wouldnt had to have fought about it.
2. They encountered having to pay such high prices to vote and and rigged tests with trick questions.
3. + Countries control more land.
+ When countries control more land the economy becomes better.
- Rights are taken from the people in the land being taken.
- Over throws the government already established and new reforms people won't like then it leads to rebellion/Revolts.

yes , because what they were fighting over they could have just shared .

not being able to vote or be taken seriously

good things: they would have more territory , they can have more respect form other countries ( not the one they took over)
bad things: the country being taken over can loose power , it can make people not follow them .

~No, beacuse all people think deifferent things and not everyone agrees on one thing.

~They troubled getting their education, finding jobs, and finding a place to live.

Good Things:
~It increased the power of a country and gave it a greater population. It also helped the economy.

Bad Things:
~The country's government was overthrown. They also took away people's rights.

I think the American Civil War could have been avoided if they would have just decided that the slaves could be free in the south.

They encountered problems like - having to pay a fee to vote , they also had to pass many test before they could vote. They also had a hard time finding jobs because all they knew were farming.

Two bad things about imperialism the weaker country could loose things like power over there on country and having people coming in taking over there stuff. Two good things about imperialism is the stronger country could take over political power and economical power.

I Think that the american civil war could have been avoided instead of fighting because vioelnce dosen't solve everything

some problems that they had was that the 13th amendment: outlawed slavery in the us and the 14th amendment guaranteed that former slaves had equal rights. also the 15th amendment gave africans americans males voting rights

1. wanted new markets to sell their factory made goods
2. colonies offered new lands for europe growing population to build houses and new businesses
3.west huge sense of racial superiority
4. colonies were competing with each other to see who would expand the most

1)I think american civil war could have been avoided if the south could have save without fighting but it made the world come together.

2)Some problems African Americans encountered after they were free is they were not citizins and have to pay fee to vote.

3)2 goods things are natural resources and politial power...2 bad things about imperialism is directly by using local colonial rulers and weaker courtry cou ld loose things like power.

1)i think that the war was going to happen anyway just because of how the whites acted toward the slaves.

2)that the KKK wanted to kill the blacks people. it was hard for blacks to find jobs. they also made segregation laws legal separation of the races in hospitals, schools and other pubblic places.

- No, because the bill of rights doesn't promised anything about freedom for women and blacks.
- they had to pay a high fee to vote, many had to pass a very difficult test to register to vote which is a literacy test
- good things: Better economy & more money, new transportation (trains, steam powered ships)
bad things:child labor & small apartments, dirty streets lead to imprerialism

The American Civil war could have been avoided because the whole thing was started because of the issue of slavery. The slaves were the engine for the economy. The southern states had to depend on them.Other people thought it was wrong.
African Americans had faced the fears of the kkk and they had to pay to vote.
Two good things about Imperialism were a strong country had more power. The weak country had gain natural resources like oil. 2 bad things for the other country was loss of control and life. Brandon

1.Do you think the American Civil War could have been avoided?no. Why?because their governments already had many problems.
2.What were some problems African Americans encountered after they were free?during the late 1800s African Americans faced this type of prejudice. After the Civil War ended in 1865 African Americans thought they would get equal rights and no longer be slaves. What they thought was exactly the opposite of what happened. They were still slaves and they were treated very unfairly.
3.What are 2 good things & 2 bad things about Imperialism?
