How did shakespeare portray Richard III?
Not really. Shakespeare described Richard as hunchbacked, with a "withered arm". If the skeleton discovered under a carpark really is that of Richard III, as the people who discovered it claim, neither of those is true. The skeleton showed no weakness in either arm, and although the spine was twisted, it would not give a hunchbacked appearance. Likewise, portraits of Richard do not show him as hunchbacked, and there is nothing to indicate any abnormality in his arms. (Indeed, as Richard was universally acknowledged as a great warrior, it is unlikely that either his sword-arm or shield-arm would be crippled). So, the grotesque Quasimodo-like figure Shakespeare presents to us is a fictional figure of Tudor propaganda.
Because of the water line.the north is high above sea level than the south While in a minority of cases the reason is because of the relatively high water table, in most cases it is simply a matter of cost. In the north, building codes require the foundation to be far below the frost line (i.e., the depth at which the ground freezes in winter). This is typically at least 2 meters. At that depth, you might as well finish up with a basement (adding an addition meter of dig) , which also adds value to the home. In the south, without a frost line to worry about, the standard is typically less that 0.6 meter. Therefore, installing a basement would add to the cost for the builder, which most in the south consider to be unnecessary. Thus, basements are possible in most of the South, but for cost's sake, it's not done. In the Pacific Northwest, basements are not common either, but there the reason is the presence of hard bedrock, which would literally require blasting to excavate (and raise the cost significantly).

Why did Richard III kill his wife?
There is no proof whatsoever that Richard III did kill his wife Anne Neville. In fact, her death came as a great blow due to the fact that his one and only heir died.

What were conflicts that resulted from the war of the roses?
The Wars of the Roses was a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. They were fought between supporters of two rival branches of the royal House of Plantagenet, the houses of Lancaster and York. They were fought in several sporadic episodes between 1455 and 1487, although there was related fighting before and after this period. The conflict resulted from social and financial troubles that followed the Hundred Years' War, combined with the mental infirmity and weak rule of Henry VI, which revived interest in the alternative claim to the throne of Richard, Duke of York.
The final victory went to a Lancastrian claimant, Henry Tudor, who defeated the last Yorkist king, Richard III, at the Battle of Bosworth Field. After assuming the throne as Henry VII, Henry Tudor married Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Edward IV, thereby uniting the two houses. In an era leading to what is sometimes referred to as the "Golden Age" of Elizabeth

Are there any descendants of Henry Plantagenet alive today?
Yes, there are...and I know that because I am a direct descendent of Henry and Eleanor of Aquitaine by king John and Henry III. Many of their descendents passed through noble families like the Hungerfords and Despencers on to, in my case, early colonial American settlers in the Partridge, Tracy, and Gove family lines for example. Many of their descendents seem to have established themselves in Texas and other parts of the American south, for some reason.

Does Richard III kill Lord Hastings?
In Shakespear's play, Richard III (or more specifically the Duke of Buckingham working for Richard) definitely arranges to Hastings death.
As for real history, the general consensus appears to be that they both ordered it, but Hastings really, really deserved it because he was part of a conspiracy to overthrow Richard for Henry Tudor (the future Henry VII).
But like a lot of things from this time, the actual record of event are very sketchy, and tainted by a lot of tradition and later propaganda. So the real answer is -- no-one can be sure.
What caused the Civil War to start?
The US Civil War was caused by a breakdown within the US government's longstanding compromise answer to sectional problems. Southern leaders and their counterparts in the North were far apart on the institution of slavery. As the nation grew westward, there were more non-slave states. Southern leaders believed they were being marginalized. They already had lost a balance of seats in the House of Representatives. They saw a major power shift away from the Deep South. The end result was a bid for independence that some Northerners actually welcomed. Not that many however, as there was a vast majority that wanted to keep the US united.
