David W. Blight, historian, Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory, 2001 Americans faced an overwhelming task after the Civil War and emancipation: how to understand
the tangled relationship between two profound ideas—healing and justice [T]hese two aims
never developed in historical balance. One might conclude that this imbalance between outcomes
of sectional healing and racial justice was simply America's inevitable historical condition. ..
But theories of inevitability... are rarely satisfying. ... The sectional reunion after so horrible a
civil war was a political triumph by the late nineteenth century, but it could not have been achieved
without the resubjugation of many of those people whom the war had freed from centuries of
bondage. This is the tragedy lingering on the margins and infesting the heart of American history
from Appomattox to World War I.

i really do want to but i just don't know it i'm so sorry : (

from the religious point of view, the conflicts began because of the enmity between catholic and protestants. in 1649, at the insistence of baltimore, the colonial assembly approved the act of religious tolerance, the first law in the colonies granting freedom of worship, though only for christians. in 1654, however, with the protestants of maryland in the majority, the act was revoked. the almost civil war broke out and order was not restored until 1658, when lord baltimore was returned to power.

on the issue of class conflict, the chesapeake region offered few economic opportunities to contract employees who had served their term of obligation. even with the small amount of capital needed to grow tobacco, former hired servants at best became subsistence farmers, a mature class for those called to rebellion, such as those proposed by nathaniel bacon. as the number of new hired workers declined because of limited chances of progress and reports of severe treatment, they were replaced by african slaves.

from the racial point of view, after 1660, the chesapeake colonies imposed laws that defined slavery as a lifelong and hereditary condition based on race. this made slaves profitable because planters could rely not only on their work but also on their children. the slave population, which numbered four thousand in virginia and maryland in 1675, grew significantly by the end of the century.
