Civil War North and South

First half XIX century. passed under the sign of rapid expansion of territory USA. New territories were bought from colonial countries or taken by force from weak opponents. Indigenous people America - Indians were exterminated or evicted. The struggle for land had its own characteristics. AT America there were no feudal-type landowners or serfs. Squattering - the seizure of free land - meant taking away land from the indigenous inhabitants - the Indians. However, the settler needed money. Not everyone could adapt to new living conditions, withstand the onslaught of land speculators, etc. There was a fierce struggle between large and small landowners. During this period of American history, a large plantation economy dominated, where slave labor (blacks) was used. After the Revolutionary War, slavery was abolished in the North. These measures, along with squatterism and the subsequent nationalization of Western lands, laid the foundation for the development of capitalism in agriculture along the farmer route. However, large landownership based on slave labor remained in the South. The outflow of labor to the West led to the massive use of slave labor.

So, in the first half of the 19th century. In the USA, two paths of bourgeois development have emerged:

1) in the North;

2) in the South.

A clash of classes due to the establishment of one or another type of bourgeois development in agriculture was inevitable. In the class struggle, the main place was occupied by the problem of “free” lands in the West and the liquidation of slave-owning latifundia in the South. Back to top 20s XNUMXth century in the USA There were 22 states, half of them were slave states. Conflicts continued between the slave owners of the South and the bourgeoisie of the North, especially when the fate of the new states was being decided in Congress. Planters were interested in creating new slave states. The bourgeoisie of the North was against this. The clash of interests of the industrial bourgeoisie and slave owners led to an inevitable conflict, which later resulted in a civil war. This was the beginning of a fierce struggle between two economic systems: the growing bourgeois and the weakening slave system. Against the backdrop of this struggle, political history emerges more clearly USA during the period between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. The beginning of a protracted conflict was the decision on the fate of the state Missouri. The planters tried to pass a law through Congress to classify this state as a slave state, but met fairly organized resistance from delegates from free states. However, the conflict ended in a compromise. North of certain boundaries and west Missouri slavery was prohibited. The state of Missouri was designated as a slave state, but the new state of Maine was admitted as a free state. The admission of free states undermined the position of slaveholders in the Senate. The Missouri Compromise only slightly delayed the open battle between the two economic systems. It was violated when the question of the fate of the states was being decided California, New Mexico и Utah.

В 1865 BC Congress passed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution to abolish slavery throughout the territory USA. In 1866 BC The 14th Amendment is adopted, which gives blacks civil rights. Anyone who was born in USA or was naturalized, recognized as a citizen USA and the state where he lived. It did not apply only to Indians who were exempt from paying taxes. The amendment prohibited states from infringing on, limiting the rights of citizens, and depriving them of life, liberty, and property without due process.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Pentax AF201FG all-weather flash 14.02.2015

Ricoh Imaging introduced the AF201FG external flash for Pentax SLR cameras. In the description of the novelty, the manufacturer first of all highlights the guide number equal to 20 (at ISO 100) and protection against dust and atmospheric influences. According to Ricoh Imaging, the flash can be relied upon "even in harsh weather conditions, including rain and fog."

The flash head angle is selectable from -10° to 135°. Turning on and selecting a mode is done with a wheel. Four modes are available: P-TTL auto with front-curtain sync, P-TTL auto with rear-curtain sync, manual full power, and manual 1/4 power. The angle that the flash illuminates is 53° vertically and 70° horizontally. There is a retractable lens for shooting with a wide-angle lens that increases angles to 85° and 98°.

The flash is powered by two AAA elements. A set of alkaline elements is consumed in 80 flashes, recharging the flash in 7 seconds. 750mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries deliver 100 flashes, recharging the flash in 4 seconds.

Flash dimensions are 65,0 x 72,5 x 31,0 mm, weight without batteries - 141 g.

The AF201FG will go on sale in March for $150.
