Dred Scott v.

King Cotton and Its Impact on Foreign Intervention in the War ❧ ❧ King Cotton
King Cotton and its impact on foreign intervention in the War ❧ ❧ King Cotton ❧ The phrase was commonly used by Southern politicians and authors. ❧ Saying “king” cotton instead of just “cotton” showed the political and economic importance of cotton production. ❧ In 1793 the cotton gin was invented. ❧ After the invention, cotton exceeded tobacco as the dominant cash crop in the South. King Cotton ❧ This compromised more than half of the U.S. exports. ❧ Southerners argued the importance of cotton in the international marketplace ❧ They believed the industrial powers of Europe could not long afford to allow the northern navy to enforce its blockade. The importance of the Trent Affair of 1861 ❧ ❧ Trent Affair of 1861 ❧ The Trent Affair reflected the uneasy state of international relations created by the war. ❧ The Confederacy hoped that England or France, even both, would come to its aid. ❧ The Trent affair was settled through diplomatic evasion and maneuvering, but the international situation remained tense throughout the war. Trent Affair of 1861 ❧ Leaders of both the north and the south could imagine situations in which England or France would intervene with the weapons and supplies ❧ Foreign intervention loomed as an intense hope for the confederacy and a great fear of the north. ❧ Anger over the Trent Affair was balanced by resentment of southern assumptions about British dependence on cotton. Battle of Antietam ❧ ❧ Battle of Antietam ❧ September 17, 1862 ❧ The bloodiest single day of the Civil War ❧ Four times more soldiers killed and wounded than in the campaign’s other fights combined Approximate Numbers Union Confederate Total Killed 2,100 1,550 3,650 Wounded 9,550 7,750 17,300 Missing/Captured 750 1,020 1,770 Total 12,400 10,320 22,720 Battle of Antietam ❧ Most well-known of the battles in Lee’s first invasion of the North, has the most battlefield land preserved and attracts the most battlefield visitors.

Friday, June 21, 2013 the Failures That Ignited America's Financial
Friday, June 21, 2013 The Failures that Ignited America’s Financial Panics: A Clinical Survey Hugh Rockoff Department of Economics Rutgers University, 75 Hamilton Street New Brunswick NJ 08901 [email protected] Preliminary. Please do not cite without permission. 1 Abstract This paper surveys the key failures that ignited the major peacetime financial panics in the United States, beginning with the Panic of 1819 and ending with the Panic of 2008. In a few cases panics were triggered by the failure of a single firm, but typically panics resulted from a cluster of failures. In every case “shadow banks” were the source of the panic or a prominent member of the cluster. The firms that failed had excellent reputations prior to their failure. But they had made long-term investments concentrated in one sector of the economy, and financed those investments with short-term liabilities. Real estate, canals and railroads (real estate at one remove), mining, and cotton were the major problems. The panic of 2008, at least in these ways, was a repetition of earlier panics in the United States. 2 “Such accidental events are of the most various nature: a bad harvest, an apprehension of foreign invasion, the sudden failure of a great firm which everybody trusted, and many other similar events, have all caused a sudden demand for cash” (Walter Bagehot 1924 [1873], 118). 1. The Role of Famous Failures1 The failure of a famous financial firm features prominently in the narrative histories of most U.S. financial panics.2 In this respect the most recent panic is typical: Lehman brothers failed on September 15, 2008: and … all hell broke loose.

DRED SCO7T AND THE CRISIS OF 1860* LOUISE WEINBERG* INTRODUCTION: A PROVOCATIVE VIEW In recent work, Mark Graber, a participant in this Symposium, argues provocatively that Dred Scott v. Sandfordi was a "centrist" decision when handed down.2 In Graber's view, most Americans were comfortable with Dred Scott. He points out that Congress, and indeed the whole country, had repeatedly looked to the Taney Court to settle the -issue of slavery in the territories, and argues that the country was happy to abide by whatever the Court decided. Graber's main point is that Dred Scott was a needed compromise that sustained the Democratic Party's North-South coalition, and in that way sustained the Union itself. Graber argues that the conflict between North and South became irreconcilable when it became wholly sectional, with the breakup of the Democratic Party into separate Northern and Southern fac- tions.

Juneteenth Timeline Compiled and Edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021
Annotated Juneteenth Timeline compiled and edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021 The Juneteenth holiday is a uniquely American commemoration that is rooted in the Civil War. With an emphasis on southern New Jersey, this timeline is constructed from a regional perspective of metropolitan Philadelphia. 1860 November 6 Abraham Lincoln elected president December 18 The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden. This proposed legislation would have extended the Missouri Compromise line (36o 30’ latitude north) to the Pacific Ocean. Both Republicans and Democrats opposed this plan. Republicans were concerned about the territories being open tto slavery and unfair competition for white workers. Democrats were against any restriction on slavery in the territories.

If ratified, this proposed 13th amendment would have explicitly enshrined the system of slavery into the U.S. Constitution. No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State. 2 But for the outbreak of war, ratification of the Corvin amendment by the states was quite likely.
