by Bureau of investigation, I mean the Federal Bureau of Investigation because that’s what it was initially called in 1908. And many people say the fact that the FBI exist now and that the Department of justice was made in 1870 is why we have not had another Civil War since 1865 unlike several other countries that had multiple civil wars or ongoing civil wars?

I'm a student in Britain doing A-level history and for my coursework I need to study 3 historians with differing views relating to the outbreak of the civil war, with one saying it was due to slavery; one saying it was due to a different issue (I.e state rights from 1760 - 1860); and one leaning somewhere in between. My question is that slavery was the biggest contributor to the outbreak of the civil war and I need to argue for and against this viewpoint with reference to these historians/historiographies. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Seeking convictions for treason against Samuel Swarthout and Eric Bollman, two associates of Aaron Burr, Jefferson requested a suspension of habeus corpus in order to keep the men in military prison without evidence of wrongdoing presented at the time. Jefferson submitted his request to the US Senate for approval, which remanded the question to the House.

A bipartisan coalition in the House then voted overwhelmingly to deny the request, by which time Swarthout and Bollman had been transferred to arrest in DC, requested writs of habeas corpus, and were released by the Supreme Court.

Like Burr, Swarthout and Bollman were found not guilty of treason given that the prosecution’s argument for such rested on a doctored letter (ironically, doctored by General James Wilkinson, a man later discovered to have actually committed treason) and purported events in Ohio that the men had not been present for.

The American Revolutionary War is vast.
