Big events in the civil war

The Compromise of 1850 plus the Fugitive Slave Act
After the Missouri Comprimise America had new lands . They had to decid if they were going to allow slavery in that part of the land or if it was going to be forbidden, or if they were going to let people decide. Also california grew a lot since the gold rush and the question to maintain the slavery came up because california wated to be a free state but it would diss balance the states.To keep the balance they would probably disagree. Texas wated its terrietorie to expand to santa fe. Finally washington the capital allowed slavery and it was the biggest slave market. then the Compromise of 1850 came up : fugitizes did not have the right to tral and citizens had to help slaves.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act
This act allowed the people who lived in the Kansas and the nebraska state to decide wether thay wanted slavery within their bounderies.

Mercantilism

1.
The theory and system of political economy prevailing in Europe after the decline of feudalism, based on national policies of accumulating bullion, establishing colonies and a merchant marine, and developing industry and mining to attain a favorable balance of trade.

2.
An economic doctrine that flourished in Europe from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Mercantilists held that a nation's wealth consisted primarily in the amount of gold and silver in its treasury. Accordingly, mercantilist governments imposed extensive restrictions on their economies to ensure a surplus of exports over imports. In the eighteenth century, mercantilism was challenged by the doctrine of laissez-faire.

Future Student 21st century

After discussing the 21 first century skills with my parents i came up with a conclusion: We thought that people should now know how to use a computer and any digital device. But that said this should not become too much of a habit and cut them from the rest of the world. The human race should find time to be on a computer and time to do paper work not digitalizes every thing he does.

Breaking News

An Israeli F-16 fighter jet has crashed in the West Bank, killing the pilot.

The 21-year-old pilot, Assaf Ramon, was the son of Israel's only astronaut, Ilan Ramon, who died in the explosion of the space shuttle Columbia in 2003.

Sunday's crash took place in a hilly area south of the city of Hebron, military officials said.

The jet was on a routine training flight, they added. There is no word on why it went down. Search and rescue crews are at the scene.

Ilan Ramon - who was a former fighter pilot himself - is regarded as a national hero in Israel, and media broke into their normal broadcasts to report his son's death.




In pictures: Assaf Ramon crash
An unidentified Palestinian told Israeli TV that the plane had flown low over the southern West Bank before crashing.

"There was a huge fire," the eyewitness said.

Lt Assaf Ramon graduated from the Israeli air force pilot's course earlier this year.

The military statement said he had excelled in his training course, and had been given his wings by President Shimon Peres.

The Columbia disaster occurred on 1 February 2003.

The space shuttle disintegrated during re-entry over the US state of Texas, killing all seven astronauts on board.
