| | American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The American Civil War (1861–1865) was fought in North America within the United States of America, between twenty-three mostly northern states of the Union and the Confederate States of America, a coalition of eleven southern states that declared their independence and claimed the right of secession from the Union in 1860-1861. | | | Even though the Southern states had seceded, there was considerable anti-secessionist sentiment within several of the seceding states. | | | Slave "patrollers," mostly poor whites, were given the authority to stop, search, whip, maim, and even kill any slave who violated the slave codes. |

| | In some countries, particularly in Europe, American retention of capital punishment contributes to the general view that the United States continued to engage in barbarous practices, which is occasionally perceived as a contradiction to America's insistence on human rights. | | | As for the U.S. perspective, many Americans dislike attempts by other jurisdictions to extend their personal jurisdiction to American defendants whose alleged defamatory speech acts occurred over the Internet and were not targeted only towards those jurisdictions. | | | American free speech law has become an international issue ever since the rise of the Internet as a medium of communication. |

| | ANTI-AMERICANISM IN IRAN |
| | The fear expressed by the hostage-takers was that the United States would work with the liberals to stage a coup, which they compared to the overthrow of Mossadegh. | | | Indeed, the taking of the American embassy in September 1979 was as much directed against the domestic liberal element as it was against the United States.(17) | | | By the late 1980s, the Mojahedin were presenting themselves as the great friends of the United States and American values. |

| | Pro-American sentiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | It exists in many countries, especially those from where emigration to the United States has been significant. | | | Pro-American sentiments among non-Americans are characterized by a favoring of American culture (especially pop-culture), a feeling of identity with the United States and its population, or a generally positive attitude to foreign or domestic policies of the United States. | | | And in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, there was a great deal of sympathy for the United States, at least some of which was lessened due to the opposition of America's War on Terror. |

| | Frivolous "anti-globalist" sentiment of the kind represented by novelist Arundhati Roy is all too common here: Many Indian intellectuals truly believe that a capitalist-imperialist American administration invaded Iraq to secure ultra-favorable business contracts. | | | This kind of progress has tended to assuage Indian irritation with American support for Pakistan's President Musharraf. | | | But then, no matter what stake various peoples around the world have in America's polls, it's probably just as well that only Americans will have a real say in who the next president will be, especially if the CNN and BBC folk are even half right. |
