How did the compromise of 1850 contribute to the beginning of the civil war?
It was an untidy deal that satisfied no-one, and ended up raising the tensions. In exchange for allowing California to be admitted as a free state, the South had to be appeased by the creation of a couple more slave-states, and a promise that runaway slaves in the North would be hunted down and returned to their Southern owners. The Abolitonists, increasingly powerful in Congress, were outraged by this extension of slavery. And slaves on the run began to acquire a mythology, fanned by the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'.
What three events led to the American Revolution?
Slow communication between the American's and the Britain which led to the American people passing their own laws, and eventually their own taxes. The slow communication eventually led to a complete war. A year later, after "the American revolution" America was an independent entity.The death of three hundred people during the Tampico occupation (Answer D Education2020).
Why people don't like Russians?
There are a few reasons for that. In the USA, anti-Communist feelings have been actively fanned over a long period of time, starting in 1918 after the Communist take-over of Russia. Projects like the New Deal in the Thirties and laws forbidding child labor and regulating working hours were branded "Communist ' at the time by right-wing politicians. Then there was the McCarthy era in the Fifties that created a anti-Communist near-hysteria in much of the USA that was to persist until 1989. And Russia was "the enemy" during the decades of the Cold War. Today, Russia is often disliked for trying to regain some of the stature it lost in the Nineties. Several of those efforts (truth be told) are caused by the USA and NATO promising Russia in the early Nineties that no advantage would be taken by them of Russia's releasing its grip on its former European satellite states - and then breaking that promise. Within a few years the West made several States bordering Russia NATO and EU members and happily have joint military exercises within shooting distance of Russia. Russia is now pushing back, admittedly without much subtlety (like taking back the Krim peninsula) and that is now resented by the West.
