.... prejudice slave-holders who beat black people for fun. This, of course, was very successful. Now a people who once believed in the federal government was here to help the states reach common goals, believe it’s their supreme authority. One of the lies that has already been mentioned is that the "Civil War" is over slavery. This is one of the most dead wrong statements that one could think of. First of all, 70 to 80 percent of Southern soldiers didn’t even own slaves (Kennedy 34). People just don’t get motivated enough to give up their life over whether their neighbor is going to be able to continue having something. One s .....

.... object. The international situation favored the American diplomats. Louisiana was of diminishing importance to France. The costly revolt in Haiti forced the French emperor Napoleon I to reconsider his plan to make Hispaniolia the keystone of his colonial empire, and impending war with Great Britain made him question the hardness of holding Louisiana against that great naval power. He decided to sell Louisiana to the United States. On April 11, 1803, the French foreign minister Charles Maurice de Talleyrand opened negotiations by asking the surprised Livingston what the United States would give fo .....

.... Blacks (with few white Northerners on their side) and the Southern slave owners. The Southerners claimed that they should have power over the Blacks because they could take care of them and keep them on the right path. Where as the Blacks thought they should have control over themselves. They thought that they could take care of themselves, and that they were being treated wrongly by the white slave owners. The South also just wanted more power, they didn't want an even distribution between the state governments and the federal government. They believed that the state should have all the power and that's not what the Union .....
