During the WWI (World War One) were multiple countries that formed and agreed to be allies with other countries. These allies are called the Central Powers which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungagry, and the Ottoman Empire. The other allies are called the Triple Entente, but they were mostly known as the Allies which are the France, British, and Russia. The United State wanted to repay the U.S for the money but, if the countries lose the war and the U.S will get no money.
The important thing in World War 1 even though their were many countries in the war fighting, the war wasn't going anywhere. The war mostly going back and fort, unlike now in this generation, we have advance technology where we can send drones to do the work needed, compare to World War 1 where soldiers used trenches to take cover. After World War 1 the results were the Allies won against the Central Powers. The United States ensured the Allied paid off their debts to the United States and prevent the Germans from threatening U.S. shipping.

Start Of the civil war
War
The North and the South were different for many reasons, for example they had different religious and cultural views which meant they had different views on what they thought was right. They also had different ways in which they made money. The north had factories and were industrial while the south grew crops.
California was involved in the Civil War because this new state made a new constitution that didn't allow slavery and this made southerners angry because that meant that more that half of the United States believed that slavery should be abolished.
The fugitive slave law stated that alleged fugitive slaves were not entitled to a trail by jury and anyone helping slaves escape were entitled to pay a 1000 dollar fine and were placed in jail for up to 6 months. The south supported this law because this prevented people from attempting to help runaway slaves.
The Dred Scott case was about how an owner of a slave named Dred Scott took him from Missouri(a slave state) to Illinois then to Wisconsin. Dred Scott appealed to supreme court and stated he was a freeman, but the 5th amendment protected property and slaves were considered property. Northerners were outraged by the supreme's court decision and showered the court with insults.
The John Brown plan was that people seized the federal arsenal and to start a rebellion. He had hopes that people would see this as a chance to fight to abolish slavery and that people would help Brown and his abolitionist keep the federa. Mnm. m me m).$. J. Jh h h.

Perdue Chicken
Perdue is a major chicken processing company in Salusbury, Maryland, founded in 1920. It began by selling baby chicks to farmers who then raised the chicks into broilers (chickens for eating). The author of "Abusing Chickens We Eat" is Nicholas Kristof from the New York Times. Kristof reported that the Perdue Company was treated the chickens we eat inhumanely. Some of the facts Kristof reported were taken by filming the chickens in their habitat. The chickens did not have enough space to move around and breath in. Chickens can hardly walk because of how heavy their enlarged breast are. The chickens also did not have natural light.
