Many African-Americans fought for the Union during the Civil War, though at first they were not allowed to become soldiers. Once they became soldiers, they could only have White officers. They fought bravely. Here are some clips from a movie called “Glory,” which was about a group of famous African-American soliders who fought in the war: Many of the soldiers in this group died in the war.

How the civil war in my country did affect my family?

The civil war affected my family because the people could not go to pray to church. The people was afraid to pray or have there own belief. The people did not wanted to be scared of having the freedom of religion.it affected my family because the people fought to have their own beliefs.Today you can chose your own religion.

Hmong and Vietnam War start from about 1955 to 1975. My parents they live in the Vietnam land. When Hmong and Vietnam their fight my parents had to leave their home and their land. My parent’s they very scared because has a lot of peoples die in the war and my parents they very scary because they don’t want to die. My parent’s they had to hide in the jungle to escape from the communists. Their wives and family members would then bring them food. While they were hiding in the jungle, the communist force started to advance into Hmong villages. After communist victory over Laos in 1975, patent lap forces started taking over Hmong village.my parents move to Thailand they very miss their home.

My mother remember that in the Mexican Revolution women had to help the men to bring them water and they help with making the food.
My father told me that women were an important to the men because while they are fighting the wmen help to do several things.

I remember that my family said they lived a few years of fear and terror, but the war led to the liberation of the peasants and that it caused the implementation of curfews amongs the people.
Mariana Hernsndez on January 30th, 2012 5:32 pm

The war arose from the widespred civil disorder that plagued the early years of the Mexican republic.
In 1838 a french pastry cook, Monsieur remondel, claimed that his shop in the tacubaya district of mexico city had been ruined by looting Mexican officers in 1828.
karen sagrero on January 30th, 2012 5:44 pm

My family told me that they remember the pastry war in april 16 1838 and march 9 1839. The war was between french and mexico, the war was fought because the french citizenz where living in mexico during a prolonged period of strife and their goverment refused any sort of reperations but it also had to do with the longstanding mexican debt.
