Would a War Tax end the War?


If people had to pay taxes for war then they will maybe no war again in the world. By making the price to 11 billion dollars per month the war effort costs would pay for a lot of health care and other needs but I am not sure that raising taxes during a recession is a good.

What I remenbered from the video?

From the video I remembered many things such as:

California was a free state, New Mexico and Utah were becoming free states too. He wanted slavery to be allowed on the mexico territorry. Harriet Tubman was a spy of the USA during the civil, she contributed to the cretion of the underground railroad and she saved many slaves by sending them to the North and to Canada were they could be free.By late September, California was recongnized has a free state and New Mexico and Utah were created and they also signed the legislation by late September and Texas became has a slave state. The compromise was well suported by the nation. Slaves could have get 10$ if they said that they are slaves and 5$ if they say that they are free. If you lived in the north during the 1850's the south was far away. Harriet Stowe wrote a book called Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1852. Harriet family were abalonist or in the minister. Sha writes because she is very christians and she says that slaves should be treated with religions the same way as white people and not differently.Steven Douglas introduced the Kansas-Nebraska act and the big problem is that they wanted to make one state free and one state not free.Southerners wanted Kansas as a free state. In 1855 the election and the problem was that there are 3 million people living in Kansas and they got 6 million votes.

Presidential Election Of 1860

The election of 1860 was when the United States population elected Abraham Lincoln. This is important to now for our study of the Civil war because the Civil War started the month after Lincoln's election

Kansas-Nebraska Act

The Kansas-Nebraska act was when in 1854 they created those two territories that they called the Nebraska and the Kansas. This is important to our study of the Civil War because they allowed settlers in those territories to determine if they would allow slavery in those two territories.

Compromise Of 1850

The Compromise of 1850 was the confrontation of 4 years between the slaves that lived in the south and the free states of the north. It is important to our study of the civil war because this compromise didn't made the war stop and it made the Kansas and the Nebraska divided.
