November 20th, 2014 Historical Thinking Skills Questions 1. After analyzing the events that are included in the timeline it was obvious to conclude that the main reason behind the Civil War was the growing tension in the subject of slavery.

South even more fragile. Due to many states complaining of the unfair treatment and wanting to secede it sparked another topic, States Rights. Many southern states felt that the government didn’ẗ have the right to control or even abolish slavery, this topic are what many historians believe to have lead the final push into the civil war. Without the issue of slavery many of the issues included above wouldnt of happened without the main spark that started the wild fire of change in the treatment of humans. 2) A major theme throughout US history is the growing issue of immigration and immigrants wanting to keep their cultural background and having the same social, political and econimical rights that others had. Since the first ship arrived to what is now
the United States there has always been the dislike towards others that don't appear to be just like us. Majority of colonists have always had that superiority feeling towards those of different skin color for example the native americans. The treatment of native americans became a trait that evolved into the dislike of african americans and treating them as property and what we now see today as many have the dislike of hispanics coming over to the United States. Though we don't treat those who are different from us as property anymore there is still that superiority that if they want to become apart of our nation they have to speak our language,
