The northern states wanted to abolish slavery whereas the southern states didn’t want it to be abolished because their economy was based on plantations (cotton, beetroot, and tobacco) and they needed the slaves as a cheap labour force. So the southern states decided to secede from the Union.

The Federation/Union Army was led by General Grant and the Confederation Army was led by General Lee.

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania: the battle took place between July 1st and 3rd 1863. One of the bloodiest and deadliest battles in the Civil War but also a decisive one.

The Founding Fathers of the United States, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison, wrote the American Constitution following the war of independence. The Constitution aimed to create a democracy and preserve the Union's ideal of self-government. The speech called for freedom, equality, and the abolition of slavery, addressing the sacrifices of both black and white soldiers during the war.

Congress, located on Capitol Hill, is divided into three branches: judicial, executive, and legislative. The Supreme Court holds judicial power, while the President holds executive power. The Senate and House of Representatives have 539 members in congress: 439 representatives and 100 senators. The Checks and Balances system ensures no branch becomes too powerful. President Roosevelt addresses Congress after the Pearl Harbor attack, requesting war votes and budget acceptance.

The USA is depicted as the victim of an attack by Japan, with the USA having no choice but to go to war. The passive language, such as 'was attacked', 'was planned', and 'have been reported torpedoed', reinforces the idea that Japan is the attacker. The repetition of the sentence structure 'Last night' lists all Japanese forces' attacks, reminding us of the human death toll after terrible events.

Japan's attack on the USA, portrayed as a result of passive language like 'was attacked', 'was planned', and 'have been reported torpedoed', highlights the US's inability to resist the war. The repetition of the sentence structure 'Last night' highlights the human death toll from these terrible events.
