What did you learn from watching the Ken Burnʼs Civil War video?

         What i learned from Ken Burn's videos abouth the Civil War is that back then during the cCivil War the people were more attentive to what was happening around them. The Cilvil War wasn't meant to be as a war because the war was not going to happen but when the people who did not want slavery had to impose something that would not make a big deal of a war, but when the pro-slaves acted disrespectfully about the slaves there had to be something that would stop this. The only thing that started the war was the pro slaves and the anti-slaves which each defended what they thought was right.

Northern advantages versus the Southern advantages.

      The northern advantages were better than the southern advantages because the northern part was closer than the southern part to the sea. This is better because the northern people had more and better transportations that came from other countries. The southern advantages were different because these didnt have the sea close to them so they had othere ways which were that they had better tools and they were closer to the other places where they could trade.

What each event was and why it is important to our study of the Civil War?

      Here is the first event Compromise of 1850, second event Kansas-Nebraska Act, and finally here is the third event Presidential Election 1860. This is also very important to our study of the  Civil War because it all talks about things that lead to the war. Forexample the Compromise of 1850 was a conflict between the anti-slaves and the proslaves and this lead tothing with the government which was a big part of the Civil War.


Describe how each of the following abolitionists acted to fight against slavery?

          The abolitionists all faught against slavery, they were called the anti-slaves. These people thought that slaves were people just like them and they did not deserve to be treated like them. But the people who were proslaves decided that slavery should be some thing that had to be continued because the slaves are not people like them they are different in many other ways.
                     A man called Aminatou Haidar who is 42 years old was arrested by the police because he said that he was not okey  that the Sahara desert was a Morocain territory. This happened in the city of Laayoun, Morocco. This happened in the air port of spain. Aminatou Haidar was also "refusing to carry out formalities."

In what situation will compromise not work?

       Compromise will not work if the people that are proslaves and the people that are antislaves get together because the proslaves are for slavery to forward continue and the antislaves are the people that want to stop slavery, because they think that it is unfair or they disagree with that fact for several other reasons. The is a very big problem if it ever gets to happen , because people are not willing to let go easily, because those people know already in what they ingage themselves. They know the danger and what is might be.

     Pretend that you have just completed your university studies. It is time for you to choose a place to live and work.

     After I finish with my studies in the United States I will directly come to Morocco, because its the country where im born. The reason why I would come back to Morocco is because all my family lives there, and it would be easier for me to comunicate with people from my own country. I would maybe continue on what my parents were working on, or I would maybe start my own company and my parents will help me make it work their relation ships

     The main political parties in Morocco?    

            After  i had asked my parents about the political parties and how they were arranged, they told me that Morocco doesnt really have political partie. The only parties that are political is when the king is celebrating his own birthday which acctually almost never happened with this king. The father of this king which was Hassan 2 used to always celebrate his birthday parties. The king we have today if he celebrates something its when people do not work and children do not go to school. For example this king has celebrated his sons birthday, and there is a day in the year where no one has school nore works its when the king was born. Every single Morocan person that lives in Morocco celebrates the kings birthday by not going to work or not going to school for the children.
