TWO WARS IN AMERICA. In the early history of America, there were two more terrible wars. The American REVOLYTIONARY WAR was a war between the colonist and England. England wanted to control the colonies, but the colonists wanted to form a free and INDEPENDENT nation. The American CIVIL WAR was a war between two groups of people in the United States, the northern states and the southern states. The northern states believed in a strong, centralized GOVERNMENT that governed all the states. The southern states believed very strongly in local and regional government and the RIGHT of states to govern themselves. THE AMERICAN REVOLOTIONARY WAR –1775 to King George of England was the king of the colonies in North America. England controlled the colonists even though the colonists lived far from England. Colonists paid taxes to England and followed English laws, English soldiers guarded the colonies. Around 1770, some colonists decided that they wanted to be separate and independent from England. Leaders in the colonies began to make their own system of government. They started a REVOLUTION against England. The Revolutionary War against England began in April American colonists fought for independence from England for six years. During this war, in the year 1776, representatives from each of the colonies met together. They wrote a paper called the DECLARATION OF INDEPEND. This paper said that the colonies were now free and independent states. They would not be controlled by King George of England. In the Declaration of independence, there are two very important ideas about government. The leaders of the colonies believed that: All men are created equal. All men have basic human rights including the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The purpose of government is to protect the rights of the people. If it does not protect the peoples rights, the people have a right to change the government. The leaders of the colonies believed that this was what government should promise to protect. On July 4, 1776, the 13 colonies became 13 states. These 13 states formed an independent nation, the United States of America. The Revolutionary War ended in General George Washington was the leader of the American army. Later, he became the 1st president. He was elected in Today he is called the « Father of his country.

THE CIVIL WAR – 1861 to During these early days of the United States, there was a big difference between the northern and southern states. The ECONOMY of the northern states was based on industry or business. People made money from making things in factories, such as clothing, shoes, furniture, machinery, and other products to be bought and sold. Most of the work and money of the southern states was based on farming. Southern colonists started very large farms called PLANTATIONS. Plantations needed hundreds and hundreds of workers. But colonists did not do the work in the fields on these large farms. This work was done by Africans. The hostory of the Africans in the North America is not the same as that of the Europeans. It is very cruel history. Most of the Europeans who came to north America came because they wanted to.This is not true of the Africans. For about 200 years, African villages were attacked by slave traders who arrives on large ships. These men forced African men, women. and children to get on the ships and leave their homes. they brought the Africans to America. They sold the Africans like animals to work on the plantations. Africans were slaves in America. These Africans lost everything- their families, their native languages, their ways of living.They lost their religions and their freedom. Most Africans in America were not free to work where they wonted to work. They were not free to travel or go back to Africa. They did the hardest work. They ere treated like animals. Husbands, wives and children were separated from each other. They were sent to work and live on different farms. Many never saw their families again. The northern states did not like the system of SLAVERY and wanted it to end. In 1808, CONGRESS made a law saying that no more slaves could be bought into the country. But there were many African slaves already in the country. Owning, buying, and selling the slaves that were already in the United States was still legal. The slaves trade continued for many more years. The North and the Southern continued to disagree about slavery. 11 southern states decided they wanted to be separate and independent from the northern states. They wanted to control their own economies and not be under the power of a national government. In 1861, the Civil War began between the North and the South. A civil war is a war that is fought among the people of the same country. This terrible war lasted for 4 years. More than 630,000 people died. During the war, on January 1, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed a paper called the EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION. It freed the slaves in the south. Africans in the South were free to go or stay. Many slaves stopped working or run to the North. Many stayed on the plantations because the had nowhere to go. This action by president Lincoln helped the north win the war. Then, on December 18, 1865, after the war ended. the United States Constitution was changed. an AMENDMENT was added and slavery became illegal in all the states and territories. Many people did not like president Lincoln because he wonted to abolish slavery and keep the North and South as one country. In 1865, near the end of the Civil war, he was shot and killed. In the history of humankind, thousands of wars have been fought all over the world. The United states is no exception. It has fought terrible wars. Many men, women and children have been killed because of religion, territory, ethnic identity and power. Two early wars in the history of the United States – the Revolutionary War and the Civil War – were about political and economic freedom.
