What is a midnight justice?
Vigilantism is what, I believe, the term means. When Daylight Justice (the long arm of the law), fails, Midnight Justice (the citizens), pool/team together to inflict some ''Midnight Justice'' in the ways the long arm of the law cannot.
What happend before or after the Civil War?
The US civil war began over the issue of slavery. The first African slaves arrived in North America in 1526, and though the practice of slavery took many years to become popular, it thrived under British colonialism. On 1 January 1808 American Congress voted to ban further importation of slaves, but children of slaves automatically became slaves themselves. There was no legislation against the internal US slave trade, or against the involvement in the international slave trade and the outfitting of ships for that trade by US citizens. Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, was not in favour of abolition of slavery, but he opposed its expansion into new territories and states in the American West. It was this issue that led to the secession of the southern states to form the Confederate States of America, and ultimately also led to the Civil War. Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor had caused tension between the Union and Confederacy for several months, as the Union could not allow it to fall into the hands of the Confederacy, and it was a stronghold which the latter wished to capture. When Confederates fired on the fort on 12 April 1861, it signalled the beginning of the US civil war. Lincoln was a diplomatic and strategic wartime leader. He had to negotiate between Radical and Moderate Republican leaders, who were often far apart on the issues, while attempting to win support from War Democrats and loyalists in the seceding states. He personally directed the war effort, which ultimately led the Union forces to victory over the Confederacy. Lincoln is most famous for his roles in preserving the Union and ending slavery in the United States with the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 made the abolition of slavery an official war goal and it was implemented as the Union of northern states retook territory from the Confederacy. The Republican Party introduced the Thirteenth Amendment into Congress to enable the implementation of the Proclamation as the War drew to a close. When the last Confederate troops surrendered on 26 May 1865, the final ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment took place on 6 December 1865, officially ending chattel slavery in the United States. Final recognition of the amendment occurred on 18 December 1865.
Why were the two political parties in the Gillded Age so conservative?

How were moral diplomacy and dollar diplomacy different?
dollar diplomacy- term used (by those who opposed it)[1]to describe the efforts of the United States - particularly under President William Howard Taft - to further its foreign policy aims in Latin America and East Asia through use of its economic power by guaranteeing loans made to foreign countries. moral diplomacy-most commonly connected to the Wilson Administration, called for the United States to not interfere with foreign affairs. Wilson used the slogan that had kept the country out of World War I thus far to win his second term. Although key to developing this policy, he was quick to disregard its main points when he entered the first World War. Because of Britain's monopoly on the transatlantic telephone line, America's main source of war news was biased in favor of the Allies. When combined with the preexisting prejudice towards increasingly imperialistic Germany, the support for Britain was virtually unanimous leading up to the war. Ironically, Wilson declared America's entry into the war in seeming negation of his famed "Moral Diplomacy." and then we got it onn mofoos
