Do you think that everything is true about the civil war? One mystifying myths is that the civil war was fought over slavery. Slavery was an important idea but the biggest was over secession. Secession is when one state breaks away from the other states . Part of the north did not care about slavery but they wanted to stay together as one country. Then the other people were fighting because of slavery. Another mystifying myth all black people were slaves in the United States and all slaves were black. Slavery stared in 3500 B.C in Assyria, China, Egypt, India, Iraq, and other countries in the Middle East. At that time blacks of Africa and Indians of America had slaves. Most of the slaves were anybody who was captured in war or broke the law or who couldn't pay their bills. In the civil war most of the slaves were Africans and some Native Americans and Asian. They come toAmerica on slave ships. But not all were slaves some paid to be free, ran away or were let go.  Last mystifying myth is every one in the south wanted slavery. The answer is no, some people did not want slavery. But most of the south did. The people who lived in the south that did not like slavery did not care. Most of those people did not own a plantation<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">. Plantation were big and they did not want to pay anyone to work on it. That’s why the people with slavery wanted slaves so they did not want to pay anyone. But the other people think it is just not right. Others just said, "Hey, we’re not going to gain or lose anything in slavery becomes illegal, so why should we care? <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">__**letter to the editor**__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Wars are never good and fighting with our own people is even worse.

Some women may even go into the war and enter as a man and no one may not even find out.

and their roles in theat this time. How is it the same or different compared to our lives today? because they had to work at the factories. They had to tie back there hair and the air was contaminated. Some jobs were harder than others and the girls never knew where they would end up because peopel were always needed at different places. One place a woman would be found working at is a thread factory. A woman could straighten the thread before it enters the machine. This could harmfully injure or kill the woman. A woman was expected to work a 12 hour job ,take care of the children(if any), cook, and even clean the house. She would earn a small salarey compared to how hard she worked. A big difference between now and then is that we are stuck in school for around 7 hours while women of this time worked 12 hours of their days away. ||  || What did the Industrial Revolution do to the government? How? and it gave people jobs but some of the people were children. But they got paided very little.The children could not go into politics because they were always working. Politicans didn't care about safty because they were trying to make the country bigger. The government I would say practically turned their back on the workers in this time because they didn't help ouut with safety first while people were working. Plus children had to work just to help their families pay the taxes and buy what is needed. ||  || What did the revoution for the economy? People hardly earned enough money for the things that they wanted so they just bought the things they would need. Like clothing and food. They needed clothing because they had to have protection from the cold. Food was a big thing and most were not picky when it came to it. ||
 * North ||  || Explain the lives on women
 * The lives of the women were hard
 * It was a period of machine growth
 * to buy food
 * clothes

Does this mean that all slave owners were mean? Example There were poor living conditions for slaves and were housed in cabins. In the cabin there were little furniture and leeky rooves. Their clothes were made chea unlike the people who owned them.Slaves sometimes were allowed to make their own garden. Slaves that worked for planters had better living conditions than other slaves. Most slave owners used puniments for slaves that did not obey. The Slave codes were passed to help slaves from being too out of controll. The Literacy Law made anyone who taught a slave how to write or read get a punishment if caught. ||  || Did the veiws of polititions center around having slaves. If they had slaves did that signal power? Yes it did signal power because writers would write about how people with large plantations and that had a lot of slaves were rich and had "Good Southern hospitallity." The planter had a powerful influence over the South. This means that the more slaves you had th higher you were in the charts. Many were political leaders that owned the slaves so most would probably veiw in the way of owning slaves. Slaves would most likely be affected in how they were punished because their owners were high up in the food chain. ||  || How did slaves help the southern economy? Did it grow or shrink when cotton was found? Slaves were a big help with the economy. They made everything easy for a Southerner. Each society contributed to the economy and its' succes. That would tell us that the economy did get better after slaves came. More things were being made after they came but it was hard to predict what would be higher or lower the next day. Most of a slaves life was spent on a plantation of some kind, if they were put outside they spent more than half of their day outside worki. That had to have it's effects on the economy. ||
 * South ||  || Slave conditions were said to be harsh.
