Overview

Excerpt from Six Thousand Years of History, Vol. 9 The United States, little concerned in the wars of Europe, rapidly developed the immense material ad vantages of its own vast territory. Though conflicts, chiefly due to the existence of negro slavery, brought on a bloody and costly civil war, it terminated in the restora tion of the seceded States to the Union, and the constitu tional prohibition of slavery. The political revolutions in europe in the early part of the century gave Mexico and the South American dependencies of Spain and Portugal the opportunity to throw off their yoke, but their new governments have not been stable or prosperous. At the close of the century Spain has been compelled by the United States, after a remarkably brief war, chiefly naval, to relinquish the last of her possessions in the Western Hemisphere.
