 * __Antebellum Culture and Reform:__ **Antebellum** means the time before war, prewar, or leading to war. When ever hearing antebellum it is MOST likely refering to the Civil War. (1820-1860)

__**Opinion:**__ in my opinion i believe that alcohol should definetly be outlawed. The reason is because it is one of the leading cause of death. Those reasons differ from driving under the influence and also alcohol poisoning. If it were to be outloawed it must be inforced so it could actually make an effect and see a distinction between legal and illigal. One more reason that i beleive it is bad for you and should also be illigalized is because it kills your brain cells (couldnot be re-grown) and also hurts your disicion making while drunk. Im sure many people would agree with me. Especially the onse that have gone through those cons (the reasons) that it should be illigalized. If i were to be incharge i would make a law that would put alcohol under government control. Meaning that not too many stores in a city sell. There for it would be easier to control who are bying the alcohol and who are selling. Also if the stores are selling to the underage. One more is i would make a limit on how much alcohol could be bought at once. Perhaps even a license to buy alcohol. And if any laws were to be broken then that license would be taken away from you. //I//n 1919 an amendment was passed that outlawed alcohol in the U.S. It outlawed the making, selling, and distribute it. Not you cannot consume it. What happened was it created it a black mrket of alchol production. People made in there basement, or there bath tubs. This cause the gov to loose there tax money and control over the alcohol. 1933 the 21 amendemnt repealed the 18th amendment. > This is a picture of the the Drunkards Progress. It shows the steps that a drunk goes through not necesessarly in one day or night but through out life. It is by Nathaniel Currier and shows what temperance advocates argued was the inevitable consequence of alcohol comsumption. Beiggining with an apparently innocent "glass dwith a fried", the young man rises step by step to the summit of drenken revelty, then declines to desperation and suicide while his abandoned wife and child grieve. The Steps: STEP 1. A glass with a friend. STEP 2. A glass to keep the bold chat. STEP 3. A glass too much. STEP 4. Drunk and riotous. STEP 5. The ... ... ... companions. A partly mad drunkard. STEP 6. Poverty and disease. STEP 7.Forsaken by friends. STEP 8. Desperation and crime. STEP 9. Death by suicide. The Drunkards Cloak.

This was a punishment for public drunkenness. The drunk was forced to don a barrel and wander through town while the villagers jeer at him. Holes were cut in the barrel for the person's hands and head, causing it to become like a heavy, awkward shirt. The person was then pushed down a hill, and told they were invisible and invincible, so that nothing could see or hurt them. The drunkard believed them. Unfortunately, there would be a pack of mangy dogs at the bottom, and the drunkard would be ripped to pieces.

 * Most of the settlement in America by the whites was in the east (before 1810)
 * From that point on to 1830 more settlement was found in the east-west. Little by little the expansion moved western.
 * In 1830-1850, the nation had reached its present boundaries. Basically every 30 years the nation would expand westward not necessarly in a certain fashion just slowely.
 * Western North America was mostly Indians in 1800's.
 * Many of the famous and important towns grew along those trails since they help trade and commerce of the settlements. Also most of the trails lead to the west (california)
 * One of the last major disputes over territory was the place Oregon (north of california)
 * Basically the way you can tell which is which is Canada has the north of the region and the south is for America.
 * The Compromise of 1850 voided the missiouri compromise line.
 * The deeper into the south, the higher slave percentages were. South carolina had 57% of slaves.
 * Copromise of 1850 made the Utah and New Mexico territory into popular sovereignty.

__States Rights vs. National Gov__

 * the south was all about State rights.
 * The national gov allowed a "food draft" meaning the soldirs can eat from any farm they come across.
 * During war time very often a countries economy would improve because of war production.
 * The north doesnt recongnizew the south as a seperate nation. Just states in rebellion.

__Chapter 14 Questions__
3)The South had long lines of commjunications, amide hostile local populations, and with acecess only to South;s own inadeqaute transportration sustem. The view of the war the white southeners was clear and firm. How-ever in the North the war wasn’t very settle there many different view on it and how it should work out. Also since the war was faught there then much of the land/farms were destroyed if they were in the Union Army’s way. Much of the southeners also didn’t want war or succession. A lot of southenern whites and slaves fought for the Union. The southern-women took on new roles; while the men were gone the females would take care of the farms and children. Also take care of the house hould and property.

__ Was the Civil War Worth It? __
The civil war was worth it. There are a couple of reasons. One is that the Union, America, maybe even the world wouldnt be what it is now. The reason is because much of the re-building that was done after the war (Reconstruction Period) changed the nation with a great influence. For examples; womens rights were strengthened, slavery was abolished, prisons were under better conditions. These small actions are what make up the nation complete and what it is now. Also America gained a big allie and they were the french. They helped put the war to an end and gain Union victory. Although that others might disagree and claim that it was NOT worth it because it cost a lot of money and lives claim that those live fought for what they believed the country should function. Also the money was actually gained becasue of the facturing of the items and supplies needed. Creating more jobs thanks to the army and for the factories.


 * Johnson: Not worth it, didnt force what they actually wanted when they got it like the civil rights.
 * Amalia; not worth it because the slaves didnt end up being equal until the 20th century.

__ Chapter 15 Review __

 * Ku Klux Klan: know as the KKK found in the Bible Belt. Also the most powerful and influential groups (white) that terrorized blacks to go against the Abolishment.
 * Social Darwinism: meaning if that you are naturally smarter than someone else then you are most likely to survive then another person.
 * Compromise of 1850: withdraw the troops from the war.. Also gave the Democrates more powers. REpublicans got that the democrates can not use there filibuster.
 * Bourbon rule: "home rule" was The Redeemers. The idea that every southern state gfovernment had been redeemed by white Democrats. Restored the government in the south. b
