Why was slavery abolished in 1865?

I believe slavery was abolished in 1865 because of the black people's contribution in the civil war (the notion that it was just this that contributed to abolishon of slavery is absoloutely rubbuish it was the fact that the noeth no longer believed in slavery and the cotton states wanted tyo carry on with the horrid practice that was slavery so thew south tried to breakaway and form there own country in effect) . Their contribution helped combat racist attitudes, giving 22 soldiers the congressional medal for bravery, proved to that black people were just as competent as anyone else. The more people that realised slavery was immoral put increased pressure on the southern slates and government to abolish slavery. If the black soldiers hadn't fought in the civil war, it is highly likely that the confederates would have won the war and slavery continued. Without the black people's contribution in the civil war, slavery could still be present today.


How and why were whites able to defeat the Plains Indians?

after the lakotan natvies got moved off of their reservations they had a small war and then they signed a treaty so that everyone could be equalCheck out the book Empire of the Summer Moon by S. C. Gwynne, 2010. "Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History." The Comanches were the ultimate plains Indians. They were central to stopping westward expansion of whites to their plains for over 40 years, it appears, and until repeating firearms were widely adopted a decade after the Civil War and the US military finally learned how their enemies worked, Comanches were effectively unbeatable. Too often people picture the planes Indians as being father north. Comanches and their surrounding tribes appear to have been the thorniest area of conflict. The northern tribes were largely a different story.
