Abolitionists encouraged freedom and the Underground Railroad successfully aided thousands of slaves to freedom. The railroad was an indirect response to the Fugitive Slave Law and it consisted of "spirited" (Bailey 403) conductors, stations, and passengers

These items were significant to the freedom of others so much so that the South desired to break from the Union. The Civil War provided Lincoln with a perfect opportunity to sign the Emancipation Proclamation and "carry the war to the higher moral plane of freeing the slaves" (Davis 166)
The issue of slavery, which had been overlooked, pushed aside, and avoided for so long was suddenly an issue that demanded attention. While President Lincoln did not condemn southerners for their attitudes, he quickly realized the "moral bankruptcy" (Norton 383) the Kansas-Nebraska Act brought to light
In 1842, the Supreme Court declared these laws were declared unconstitutional. However, the slave clause was considered "federal responsibility" (Murrin 455) and, consequently, absolved states from needing to enforce it
The term seems like the most lofty as well as the immediate component of an American identity (a birthright far more meaningful and compelling than terms like democracy, constitution and the United States." (Cullen, 2003, pg
This will allow Walter to spend more time with his son and wife. (Hansberry, 2011) After a series of clashes, is when a percentage of the funds are used to purchase the house that Ma wanted
But in spite of this, the notion still lingers around." (King, 1964) This is illustrating how the American dream is alive and well
Once this occurred, is when the banks began foreclosing on various farms throughout the area. (Steinbeck, 1939) Set in the Great Depression, the family is trying to survive the best way they can
The traditional equilibrium migration theory is also challenged by other experts who are that there is evidence of several migrations from South America to North America, concluded from tracing the movements of parasites in and around animal fossils from South to North (Jimenez, Gardner and Navone 1170). Other experts who agree with the multi-migration theory believe that diversity in phylogenetics of these species is traceable to different diversification patterns and different migrations (Davies and Buckley 2415)
However, other experts believe that the greater survival rate of Nearctic animals in South America was due to a greater number of migrations from North to South (Perini, Russo and Schrago 657), rather than to genetic superiority or outright size. This belief in several Northern-to-Southern migrations at different times is supported by the discovery of 2 new fossils of procyonids in Venezuela, outside and north of Argentina, which are similar to Procyonid fossils found in the southern part of South America (Forasiepi, Soibelzon and Suarez Gomez)
The controversies appear to involve the question of multiple migrations only from North to South, multiple migrations from both directions, additional migrations from other avenues such as water, and ultimately the reasons for the Northern or Nearctic species' apparently greater success after migrating to South America. The prevailing traditional belief is that the migrations North and South were basically even, according to an equilibrium theory (Jablonski
Important Results from recent primary literature articles and how they shape our current understanding of the topic The Great American Interchange was the migration of North American (Nearctic) species to South America and South American (Neotropic) species to North America due to the rise of the natural Panama land bridge between North America and South America 3 -- 4 million years ago during the Pleistocene Period (Smith and Klicka 334). The Great American Interchange resulted in a Great American Biotic Interchange, resulted in the evolutionary diversity of several species, both the North and South Americas, with different origins and different evolutionary paths (Jimenez, Gardner and Navone 1167)
The Great American Interchange resulted in a Great American Biotic Interchange, resulted in the evolutionary diversity of several species, both the North and South Americas, with different origins and different evolutionary paths (Jimenez, Gardner and Navone 1167). The Nearctic species that migrated to South America were more successful in evolving and surviving than were the Neotropic species, as evidenced by fossil finds in North America, Central America and South America (MacFadden 162)
The prevailing traditional belief is that the migrations North and South were basically even, according to an equilibrium theory (Jablonski and Sepkoski 1367), and that Northern animals succeeded in their new Southern geographic area better than Southern animals succeeded in their new Northern geographic area for 2 reasons: because they were used to more vigorous evolutionary competition over a larger land mass from prior Eurasian migrations; and because they were better able to adjust to the South American climate (Jablonski and Sepkoski 1367). However, other experts believe that the greater survival rate of Nearctic animals in South America was due to a greater number of migrations from North to South (Perini, Russo and Schrago 657), rather than to genetic superiority or outright size

Ho and his associates skillfully used Vietnamese nationalism and even xenophobia over their old and new enemies (China, France, the United States) to mobilize the masses, while American leaders thought Vietnamese Communists could be controlled by the Chinese. Americans thought that North Vietnamese leaders were Soviet puppets, but the Vietnamese skillfully used Soviet-American rivalry for their own advantage (Moss, 2010, p
They discuss the role that social learning theory plays in the acquisition of these societal norms and how different individuals assimilate societal norms at different rates. They believe that the social learning of a nation's norms can be broken down into three states: exposure, comprehension, and absorption / acceptance (Chong et al
Once this happens, is when the reader will have a greater understanding as to how this influencing their lives and the decisions that they will make. (Frost) Evidence of this can be seen with the passage from the play which says, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
This helps to give the reader a greater sense of understanding the different ideas and what is most important inside specific regions. (Miller 103 -- 112) Evidence of this can be seen with observations from Moss (1992)
