Well lets go in order. First was the Civil War. Thats was the war about slavery, and we all know that slavery is one of the biggest forms of racism known to man. It was fought between the North (Union) and the South (Consecrates). The cause of this war was slavery, which is the base of racism in this country today. The South was sending ships over to Africa and bringing back people to sell like they were cattle. The south thought this was ok, because they thought that they were a lesser race to the white man. The South put the Africa Americans to work on their farms. Not seeing that this was so wrong to the moral standard of a human being. The Africa Americans werent allowed to do anything but be slaves.
When the North heard of the news they tried to stop this. The south wanted no part of the Norths explanation because they bought the slave they thought the Africa Americans were their own property. They were so mad that they broke away from U.S and made their own thing The Confederate State of America. Now saying that there were many people in the south who thought the same way the as North, so the Underground Railroad started to help the Africa Americans. This was a series of hiding spots for Africa Americans who were trying to get to the Norths boarder so the slave could be come free. At anytime if the slave were caught they were either killed or returned to their owner. The people who house them were jailed and convicted of treason. All of this led to the assignation of Ab Lincoln which started the Civil War. Which in the end the North won and all the slaves were let go to be free people.
Now there was the Holocaust, the mass extermination of anyone who was not pure bread German. Well lets go though the steps. “A man name Adolf Hitler came to power in came to power in 1923 after the collapse of Germany.” (Nazi Period 1). He came with this plan of a prefect Germany. This was to kill everyone of thing that wasnt of German descent. He made an army of nothing but pure Germans, which were called Nazi Party. These Nazis went around ransacking homes in all of Germany which were not German families and either killing them or putting them into concentration camps. “Germany was a classic totalitarian state” (1). In this totalitarian state the Jews were forced to go into hiding of be put into camps.
The Concentration Camps were no joke. Once you got there you were split into two lines men or omen and children. Most of the time the women and children were put straight to their death by the Nazi Party. The camps had many ways of killing the Jews. They could take you out back and shoot you; you could stave to death, because you only got one meal a day which was a piece of bread and a glass of water. Others were so cruel in the way that the Nazis would say ok shower time, and in stead of water you get lock in and they would get deadly gas. The last one is so horrible the Nazis would sometimes just knock people out, and put them into a crematorium. That was to say that they would be burned alive. The Nazis had no regard for human life if you were not pure bread. This is what
The Concentration Camps were a secret and very very unpleasant place. The concentration camps were located on farms in West Germany, as you could not get by or run your own business. The concentration camps used to be covered in hay and the blood was collected by some of the camp managers through stings on the outside and by the gas chambers. In the third camp, there were two concentration camps: At Auschwitz and Treblinka, at Krakow and Kharkiv. At Kharkiv these camps were closed to the public to prevent anyone from knowing where they were going, where the concentration camps had been, and to keep them out of sight.

There was more to the truth of the tale than that. The story of the extermination camps could not stand up to scrutiny. By the end of the Second World War, the majority of the Nazis were in the camps in the country. Even on our own land, you could see the slaughterhouses and the camps burning in front of the people who lived in them. People saw that there was a way to carry out a massacre, to destroy the population of any one of the camps. And it certainly could not happen without some help.
In 1945, it became obvious that the Nazi leadership was trying to undermine the German leadership’s ability to act in the face of an economic collapse in Europe and of the rise of the Nazis. They were trying to weaken the power of the Allies and to change the German government if they found themselves in a new economic situation. Hitler said he did not support this plan because he thought we were giving our own citizens no freedom if we stopped cooperating with their plan. The Germans didn’t want to see us leave to the United States because it would be worse for the Germans. It was a matter of time before the Nazis could become effective. It would have been much better if Stalin’s plan took place and we had to leave to the United States.
To begin with, the German people needed American help. America had no plans. They were afraid we would support the Axis and that would have meant we would lose. This means that American help couldn’t be sufficient. Our leaders found it difficult to talk freely about this information even at the time our public services needed it. But eventually the American people understood that most of Germany was not willing to give up this plan.
Finally, the Third Reich did try to win favor with us with the declaration of war. It became much easier for us
