The Growth of Cotton Farming, Slavery, & Plantations

 * Cotton production was the major economic resource in South and in America.
 * The average amount of seed cotton used to make a 400-pound bale of lint ranged from about 1,200 to 1,400 pounds.
 * In order to make the most profit, plantation owners bought a large number of slaves to South Carolina and Georgia, and slave labor became a valuable market throughout the South. **Cotton production and slavery was an example of capitalism because it involves around the idea of how much cotton is produced by slaves to meet the demand from North and Great Britain. It's also a free market since the government did little to interfere the private plantation and slavery.**
 * By 1860, cotton ruled the South, which annually exported two-thirds of the world supply of the "white gold." Cotton ruled the West and Midwest because each year these sections sold $30 million worth of food supplies to Southern cotton producers.
 * Cotton ruled the Northeast because the domestic textile industry there produced $100 million worth of cloth each year. In addition, the North sold to the cotton-growing South more than $150 million worth of manufactured goods every year, and Northern ships transported cotton and cotton products worldwide. **Cotton, the white gold, brought wealth not only to South but also North. The cotton production meet the huge demand of textile in North and Great Britain, thus created a strong economic relationship among these regions. South and North also became interdependent of each other due to the production of cotton.**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think alcohol should be legal but to a certain extent. For example, one can only drink over the age of 21, and they could only drink a certain amount. If he/she is suspected to drink over this amount, then he/she would be fined and maybe arrested depends on the consciousness of the person. I think alcohol may be necessary to release stress especially after a day of work or maybe conflicts at home. However, if you are really drunk, you would spend the money on alcohol other than supporting your family by buying the necessities. Also, being drunk is syptom of being violent. You would be more likely to beat your wife and kids while you are unconscious. Being unconscious would also cause a lot of trouble like doing things that you would not normally do, or be tricked into signing a contract or somthing. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Probition-outlaw

 * Women especially married women joined the movement b/c spending $ on alcohol and domestic violence,



This political carton criticizes alcoholic men and their fate after the involvement of drinks. A person's life would be summarize into nine stages once alcohol is involved. First he would start with a little drink with family and friends and keep himself warm. Gradually, he is addicted to it and the amount of drinks increases. Then he drinks with his friends and gets drunk, which is stage 5, the top of the ladder pyramid. Next his life experiences poverty and disease, rejection from family and friends. At the end, he is depressed and often commits crime which sometimes lead to death and suicide. The purpose of alcohol is to basicly drink it sometimes with family and friends on special occasions. However, men start to addict to it which leads to violence because when he is drunk, he has no conscience and it is to form conflicts and argument. Alcohol is bad for health, therefore, a perosn would face health problems. Spending money on drinks leave no money to support the family and buy necessities which results in poverty. Also men would lose interest in jobs which forces wives and children to leave them and start another new life. With the rejection from friends and families and failure at work, men would be likely to commit crimes in order to survive. Sometimes they may even commit suicide to avoid problems in life. This cartoon emphasize how alcohol would turn a person's life to its downfall, and eventually send them to death.



In this political cartoon, men are standing the door of a liquor store. A large group of women are outside the store, some are sighing, and some show a disgusting face. The men in the store are drunk because of they consumed an excess amout of drinks. They forget about family and their responsibilities.

They tried to moderate the amount their husbands' drink.Some wives yelled for their husbands' irresponsibilities to them and the kids. Some didn't want to look at their husbands face because they had changed so much.

Perspective on the Civil War & Reconstruction

 * Lincoln- was a strong oppositionist of slavery, but he was never an abolitionist before the civil war, part of the reason is because he wanted to win the the popularity. He never recognized the existence of the independence of South. For example at the Fort sumter, Lincoln refulsed to send troops or weaponry to aid Anderson. He left the decision up to Confederate. If the Confederate attacks, Lincoln would call it a state rebellion which gives him the right to have a war with the confederate.

The Civil War
The Civil War was not worth it because it was a mass murder of Americans. The purpose of the civil war for Northerners was mostly to preserve the Union, abolish slavery, and win political power. Some may argue that the Union was brought together under Reconstruction and that most slaves was freed which was a huge step in finding their independece. However, the Civil War didn not unite the country, but instead it divided it further. Northerners sought revenge on Southerners because of their secession. Republican Radicals took control of the federal government and enforced many laws that benefited North's economic interests, but greatly opposed South's beliefs and cultural, and social practices. These differences proved how the two sections "united", but fought over political power. Southerner democrats tried to take over control in Congress, and they did at the end of the Reconstruction. In fact, slaves were not "freed". Many of them faced segregation and terrorist attacks from political groups like KKK. Segregation was like another of racial separation under slavery institution.
