compromises

The United States of America was founded and held together using compromises to help keep all parties involved in a particular conflict satisfied. This continued through the time period from 1820 to 1860. However, by 1860, the increasing tension surrounding the issue of slavery made continued use of compromise seem impossible. The numerous conflicts and disagreements involved with slavery divided the North and the South and eventually caused a complete collapse in the possibility of compromise.

Chapter 2- The Planning of English America Most of the new world had been changed profoundly as the seventeenth century dawned. North America was largely unclaimed (the area over Mexico). And the Spanish had set up much of the control in Central and South America. England?s Imperial Stirrings England didn?t put in much effort to colonize as the Spanish did. After King Henry VIII broke with Church he launched the English Protestant reformation. At first England and Spain were allies but after the Protestant Elizabeth ascended to the English throne a rivalry with Catholic Spanish intensified. Catholic Ireland, originally under English rule sought help from Spain but they failed and England put protestants there. Many English developed contempt for the ?savage? Irish.

The liberty party was formed in 1840 by a group of abolitionists. It was created by two men, Arthur Tappan and Theodore Weld, in opposition to William Lloyd Garrison who believed that political action was a way to end slavery. The first party convention was in 1840. In 1844, the party influenced undecided legislators in many local elections to adopt antislavery stands. The party ended in 1848 when many of its members joined a group called the Barn burners.
