Slavery, Economics And The Cause Of Civil War In The United States (Coursework Sample)

SLAVERY, ECONOMICS AND THE CAUSE OF US CIVIL WAR Name Subject Professor Date The concept of civil war is perhaps the most misinterpreted event in the history of the United States. It’s nearly impossible to imagine the world without the technological devices we are enjoying today. A couple of decades ago, the technology we are experiencing today would have sounded like an illusion. During the slavery era most of the work was manually done, and if anybody lived between the 19th century and 21st century, he/she would note the significant differences. The actual start of civil war begun when a Dutch trader offloaded the first cargo of African slaves in Jamestown Virginia in 1619. Slavery became widespread in the southern territories, and the desire to keep and promote slavery fueled the emergence of civil wars. The southern part of the US wanted to exalt authority over the federal government by objecting the laws that interfered with slavery. The southern states wished to maintain and spread slavery to western territories while the north was conservative about the issue. However, after the end of slavery, economists took over, and that is why we are enjoying technological and economic advancement today.[ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Jezreel","given":"Gordon","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2013"]]},"number-of-pages":"55-60","publisher":"Princeton University Press","publisher-place":"Princeton","title":"The rise and fall of American growth: The US standard of living since the civil war","type":"book"},"uris":["/documents/?uuid=24c6e258-d484-48cf-a990-592ab6700506"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"Gordon Jezreel, <i>The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The US Standard of Living since the Civil War</i> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2013).","plainTextFormattedCitation":"Gordon Jezreel, The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The US Standard of Living since the Civil War (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2013).","previouslyFormattedCitation":"Gordon Jezreel, <i>The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The US Standard of Living since the Civil War</i> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2013)."},"properties":{"noteIndex":1},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}Gordon Jezreel, The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The US Standard of Living since the Civil War (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2013).] [ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"abstract":"Big Data has emerged as of one of the biggest business and technological buzzwords of recent years. \" The term Big Data applies to information that cannot be processed or analysed using traditional tools or processes \" (Eaton et al. 2012). A number of IT companies including International Business Machines (IBM), Hewlett Packard (HP) and Oracle are leading the development of Big Data analytics programs and are creating unique packages for retailers, which suggests that it is going to have a big impact on the retail industry. The primary research has been carried out in the form of interviews, which has been conducted anonymously with representatives from COMPANY A and COMPANY B, to help meet the aims and objectives. Extensive secondary research has also been undertaken to provide more information to help answer the overall question: How can the analytics on Big Data affect the buying trends of customers in the retail industry? There is a high probability that the main benefit of Big Data for retailers and their customers is being able to better understand customers, allowing for more personalised offers leading to higher sales and customer loyalty. One of the prominent factors that may affect the buying trends of retail customers is the channel by which purchases are made. The analytics of Big Data will undoubtedly have an impact on the buying trends of retail customers but ultimately when, where and how customers make purchases will be down to personal preference. There is a distinct possibility that a collective view from a minimum of five retailers could prove more reliable, a...
