Here is a description of the history of the United States from the American Revolution to the Civil War. Summarize it in less than 150 words. 

The American Revolution concluded in 1783 with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, which officially recognized the independence of the United States from Great Britain. The newly formed nation faced numerous challenges, including establishing a stable government and navigating its relationship with European powers. The Articles of Confederation, adopted in 1781, served as the first constitution of the United States. However, its weakness in providing for a strong central government led to economic instability and interstate disputes. The Constitutional Convention of 1787 resulted in the adoption of the United States Constitution, which created a federal system with a strong national government. The Constitution established the three branches of government—legislative, executive, and judicial—and divided powers among them. The Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791, further solidified the protection of individual liberties. 

The early years of the United States were marked by expansion westward, driven by the desire for land and resources. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 from France doubled the size of the nation and opened up vast territories for exploration and settlement. The War of 1812 against Great Britain solidified American independence and furthered national unity. The development of the Industrial Revolution in the North led to increased urbanization and the rise of a factory system. Meanwhile, the South remained predominantly agricultural, relying heavily on the labor of enslaved people on plantations. The issue of slavery became increasingly contentious, as abolitionist movements gained momentum in the North, while Southerners defended their way of life and the economic importance of slavery. 

By the mid-19th century, tensions over slavery had escalated. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to balance the interests of slave and free states but ultimately proved to be a temporary solution. The Compromise of 1850 sought to appease both sides by admitting California as a free state and enacting stricter fugitive slave laws, but it only intensified regional divisions. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed for the potential expansion of slavery into new territories, triggered violent conflicts and further polarization between the North and the South. The Dred Scott Supreme Court decision of 1857 declared that enslaved people were not citizens and could not sue in federal court, fueling abolitionist sentiments. The election of Abraham Lincoln as President in 1860, based on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery, prompted the secession of several Southern states and the outbreak of the Civil War.

The American Revolution ended in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris, establishing the United States' independence. The Articles of Confederation, the nation's first constitution, proved inadequate, leading to the creation of a stronger federal government through the Constitution of 1787. The nation expanded westward, including the Louisiana Purchase, and witnessed the rise of the Industrial Revolution in the North. The South remained agrarian, reliant on enslaved labor, intensifying the debate over slavery. The issue of slavery escalated through compromises and acts that ultimately failed to bridge the divide between the North and South, leading to the secession of Southern states and the start of the Civil War in 1860.

Instruction: Here is a biography of baseball player Lou Gehrig.  Summarize it to its essential facts in less than 150 words.

Lou Gehrig and the History of ALS
”Amyotrophic” comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle.  "Trophic" means nourishment. So, amyotrophic means "no muscle nourishment,” and when a muscle has no nourishment, it "atrophies" or wastes away.
"Lateral" identifies the areas in a person's spinal cord where portions of the nerve cells that signal and control the muscles are located.
As this area degenerates, it leads to scarring or hardening ("sclerosis") in the region.
The disease was identified in 1869 by French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and became more widely known internationally on June 2, 1941, when it ended the career of one of baseball’s most beloved players, Lou Gehrig. For many years, ALS was commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Gehrig played with the New York Yankees for 17 years and received the moniker “The Iron Horse” due to his ability to play baseball despite suffering from a variety of injuries.
Born in New York City to the son of German immigrants, Heinrich and Christina Gehrig, Gehrig attended Columbia University on a football scholarship to study engineering, yet he also played the sport for which he is best known during his tenure at the Ivy League school.
A baseball scout signed Gehrig to the Yankees in 1923 due to his remarkable hitting skills.  He held various positions on the team until his retirement, including shortstop and outfielder; however, many know him best as the Yankees’ first baseman.
Gehrig garnered many achievements in his career. He hit 493 home runs; held the record for most grand slams in a career (23) until 2013; and established a record for playing 2,130 consecutive professional baseball games. The Yankees also made him the first athlete to have a jersey number retired. 
Gehrig was diagnosed with ALS on his 36th birthday during a visit with his wife Eleanor to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, on June 19, 1939. Prior to his diagnosis, Gehrig noticed several of the disease’s symptoms while playing on the field, including a loss of strength, slipping, falling and loss of coordination.
Shortly after his diagnosis, Gehrig chose to retire from baseball. The Yankees designated July 4, 1939, “Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day” at Yankee Stadium, and honored its former first baseman for his sportsman-like behavior and dedication to the game. 
On that day, nearly 62,000 fans listened to Gehrig give his famous speech where he deemed himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”
On June 2, 2021, Major League Baseball (MLB) launched the inaugural Lou Gehrig Day across the MLB network. This day, to be celebrated each year on Gehrig’s birthday, is intended to honor the famed “Iron Horse,” and raise nationwide awareness of ALS and engage more people in the fight against this insidious disease.

Response: Lou Gehrig was signed by the Yankees in 1923. During his career, he hit 493 home runs; 23 grand slams, and played in 2,130 consecutive games but began to have problems such as loss of strength, slipping, falling, and loss of coordination. In 1939, he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis which causes nerve cells in the lateral portion of the spine to degenerate and, therefore, muscles to atrophy. 

Gehrig retired from baseball. On July 4, 1939, “Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day,” the Yankees honored him for his sportsman-like behavior and dedication to the game.  They also made him the first athlete to have a jersey number retired. Nearly 62,000 fans listened to Gehrig say that he was “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”

In 2021, Major League Baseball launched the network-wide annual Lou Gehrig Day to celebrate Gehrig and raise awareness of ALS.
