There are many advantages to living in a city. The main one is convenience. Other benefits are that it is much easier to live in a city than anywhere else. There are also dangers to living in a city though. Dangers like crime are found a lot in a city.

The main benefit to living in a city is convenience. It is convenient because everything that you would need to get by is found around you. For example, if you are hungry you would go to the supermarket and buy food. This is much easier than if you would have to hunt your own food.

One big danger of living in a city is crime. Crime is much more prevalent in cities. One major reason is because there is just more people in the city and since there are more people the crime rate goes up. There is also a higher death rate in cities because of things such as car accidents and violence.

In general, it is more beneficial to live in the city. This is just because it is easier to survive in the city. There is more work and more opportunities to make a living. There is almost everything that you need to survive there and it's just easier to live there.

As you can see, it is easier to live in the city. It is convenient to live there and it's easier to get by in one. There are some dangers in the city such as crime. The death rate is also higher but overall the city is a great place to live.

US HISTORY

I think that most Americans believe that the Civil War was about slavery alone was because of the emancipation proclamation. In truth, the emancipation proclamation was just sort of a way to raise morale and give the north a reason for fighting. The real reason for the Civil War was that the South believed that the individual state's governments should hold more power than the federal government. It was over this disagreement that the Civil War started.The reason the South first raised arms is because they did not agree with the North's views on government. The South wished to have the state's governments in control as opposed to having the federal government having complete control. Many people believe that the Civil War was about slavery because that's what the North tried to make it about. The North tried to make it about slavery because that would raise the amount of people who were willing to fight.The South had a justified reason to fight. The South wanted to break away from the North and become their own territories. They had a goal in mind (to have the states governments superior to the federal government) and because they were fighting for a cause, they had more people willing to fight. The North only fought so that they could control the South.The emancipation proclamation only came up as a way to boost people's morale and change their attitudes about the war. Lincoln passed it in 1863 and it let the North occupy the slave states. It also let the slaves fight for the North which added to their military force. The emancipation really did nothing but help out the North's army.As you can see, the Civil War was not about slavery. It was about the South wanting independence. Many Americans see the war as a war of slavery because of the emancipation proclamation but it is not so.
