too many Slave states being added to the Union
What would life be like in KY if confederates won war?
No one will ever know. Kentucky was under Union control during the American Civil War. Added to the list would include the southern states of Maryland, Delaware, and a portion of Virginia, that would become the state of West Virginia.
Process for adding new states to the union?
i dont actually know for sure, but i believe that states had to have boundaries and duties before they could be added. the states had certain powers that the government didnt have, such as taxing people. states had to comprimise and cooperate by giving full faith and credit to public civil acts of the other states. they also had to return slaves and servants who crossed the border.
Which amendments helped African Americans after the civil war?
The Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments were written to help African Americans. They are called the Civil War Amendments since they were added after the Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment was added in 1865. It ended slavery and prevents the nation from allowing slavery again at any time. The Fourteenth Amendment of 1868 is an important amendment because it has helped protect civil rights for all Americans. It says that all people who are born or naturalized in the United States are citizens. The Fifteenth Amendment was added in 1870. It gave African Americans the right to vote. The government cannot prevent people from voting because of their race or color.
What were the effects of the Civil War?
Slavery ended throughout the United States. Amendments 13, 14, and 15 were added to the Constitution, banning slavery, ensuring full civil rights, etc. However, the racial and regional tension from the war remained. Lynchings and other abuses of freed slaves and their descendants became commonplace.
