Spring Break project

This project explores key events in American history, focusing on the Civil War (1840-1880) and the Progressive Era (1880-1918). The Civil War was fueled by issues such as unfair taxation and slavery, leading to significant changes, including the Emancipation Proclamation which freed over 50,000 slaves and granted them rights. The invention of the airplane by the Wright brothers revolutionized transportation and warfare, as aircraft became integral in World War I. The advancements in aviation technology drastically changed military strategies and global travel.
