From “Conflict Between the North and South” Three million soldiers fought in the Civil War. Of those, 180,000 were African Americans fighting for the North.

The North and the South had different beliefs about slavery. These beliefs were based on differences in their economies. The economy of a region is the way most people in that area earn their money . . .

The South’s economy was based on agriculture, or growing plants. The most important farms in the South were plantations. These were large farms that grew cotton and tobacco. Plantation owners depended on slaves to take care of their huge crops.

Many people in the North did not believe in slavery. They thought the people of the South should not own slaves. Although some Southerners opposed slavery, most believed they needed slaves for their plantations. They said that ending slavery would be a threat to their economy.

Crops, such as cotton, were picked by slave labor on the Southern plantations in the 1800s.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
