| | American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The origins of the American Civil War lay in the complex issues of slavery, politics, disagreements over the scope of States' rights versus federal power, expansionism, sectionalism, economics, modernization, and competing nationalism of the Antebellum period. | | | The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a bitter sectional conflict between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America, formed of eleven southern states' governments which moved to secede from the Union after the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. | | | Map of the division of the states during the Civil War. |

| | War |
| | Third, talk of legitimacy is essential for explaining justice in a civil war, wherein there isn't classical, cross-border aggression between competing countries but, rather, a vicious fight over the one state between rival communities within a formerly united society. | | | As Johnson notes, in its origins just war theory is a synthesis of classical Greco-Roman, as well as Christian, values. | | | War is a phenomenon which occurs only between political communities, defined as those entities which either are states or intend to become states (in order to allow for civil war). |

| | British Army - definition of British Army in Encyclopedia |
| | The British Army did not exist as a separate entity before the Act of Union of 1707 which united England and Scotland, but its origins date back to the aftermath of the English Civil War. | | | Before the Civil War, the army was raised as required by the King, who would warrant gentlemen to raise companies, this being a direct throwback to the feudal concept of fief where a lord had to raise a certain quota of knights, men at arms and yeomanry. | | | (This particular unit is notable because after the end of the Civil War it was barracked in London, and was involved in defending parliament when it voted for the restoration; this unit is now known as the Coldstream Guards.) |

| | Arab American Institute - Not Quite White |
| | While this would not transpire, it was the enactment of civil rights laws during that decade that would change dramatically the motives and uses of race data collection in the U.S. When the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 the government found itself in need of highly detailed information about minority participation. | | | The act has been said to reflect the evolution of public policy towards the foreign born in general and President Kennedy's view in particular of immigrants as a source of national strength. | | | While the1952 Act reduced the total volume of immigration, it established "first preference" quotas that targeted persons with useful education and training, thereby injecting a "quality" variable into the classification of immigrants that did affect the composition of post-war arrivals. |
