born every second,but this one will mark world population reaching six billion.The five-billionth baby isn`t even a teenager yet, having been born in 1987. It took all of human history until 1800 for the population to reach its first billion; the second took only until 1930. A mere 69 years later, six billion will be crowding the planet.
In 1999. The population of the world is twice what it was in 1960. Onetenth of all the people who have ever lived on the planet are alive today. We are adding new humans at a rate of 78 million year, and we will continue to do so for most of the next decade. Statistics like these are frightening, but they aren’t the whole population picture. The good news is that fertility rates are declining rapidly all over the world (with the exception of Africa), and have already reached below replacement levels in most industrialised countries. On average, women around the world today have 2.7 children, a dramatic drop from the five they had in the 1950s.
97 per cent of population growth is occurring in developing countries, where health services and family planning remain scarce. By 2050, the developed world will have 1.16 bn people, slightly fewer than today. But the developing world will have doubled, from 4.52 bn in 1995 to 8.2 bn in 2050.
The world’s poorest countries are also the hardest-hit by global disasters like Aids. In the 29 African countries most affected by HIV, average life expectancy has declined by seven years. In Botswana, where one in four is infected, people could expect to live until 61 in 1995. By 2005. Aids is expected to drop life expectancy to 41. Despite that, a phenomenon called “population momentum” will still double Botswana’s population by 2050.
This momentum occurs because the population is becoming not just economically polarised, but demographically polarised, but demographically polarised as well. In 1998, only 66 m people were over 80, but that figure is estimated to increase sixfold by 2050, reaching 370 m. The population has also got younger. The group of young women about to enter their childbearing years is the largest ever.
Momentum accounts for 60 to 70 per cent of population growth, but its impact can be blunted by actions we take today. Demographers point out that girls are stayling in school longer in most of the world, and that educated women want fewer children. Another positive trend, frequently seen in young women who’ve completed secondary school, is a delay in childbearing. If couples uniformly delayed marriage and their first birth by five years, demographers say, the population in 2050 would be two billion less than if they had not waited.

Union. All the states were different from each other and developed in different ways. The Northern states built factories and plants, and they also had a bigger population. The Southern states grew crops, which they then sold to Europe. The Southerners had huge cotton fields, where black slaves worked. There were about three and a half million slaves in the Southern states.

As you know, although it was written in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal, these words were not true for the slaves. They lived in terrible conditions and had to work day and night. Even some Southerners understood that slavery was inhuman, but without it they were afraid their whole way of life would be destroyed.

The Northerners were strongly against slavery; a lot of them helped slaves escape from their owners. They also tried to pass new laws to abolish slavery. This idea became more and more popular, which didn't suit many people in the South. The Southern states felt that their own country was against them, and they started to think of breaking away from the United States.

When the time for the next elections came, it was clear that the most important question would be slavery. There were four candidates, but a Northerner called Abraham Lincoln won the election. In his inaugural address Lincoln warned the Southerners that they shouldn't destroy the union of the states, but they didn't listen. In February 1861 eleven Southern states formed their own union, which was called the Confederacy, but Abraham Lincoln wouldn't let them split up the country. And so the Civil War began.

The North (their army was called the Union Army) was actually more powerful than the South: as you remember, they had more men, and their factories produced weapons and supplied the Northern army with everything it needed. But the Confederacy had one big advantage: they didn't have to invade the North, they just had to protect their own land and homes. At that time a lot of people thought that it would be possible. So at first, the Confederacy had more luck: their men were better trained and fought with more spirit. Just as in the Revolutionary War. Americans from the South were once again fighting for their independence. The Union soldiers were getting tired. After they lost some important battles, the anti-slavery idea wasn't enough to inspire them any more. The Southerners felt that just one more big victory would be enough to win the war.

It was all decided here in Gettysburg in June 1863. The three-day battle was terrible and took the lives of more than fifty thousand men. On the fourth day, the Confederate commander, General Lee, had to admit that he had lost the battle.

After the battle, the American President, Abraham Lincoln, came to Gettysburg to honour the memory of those who had died there. He made a speech there, which later became famous as "The Gettysburg Address". In that speech Lincoln told his countrymen that it was for them to make sure "that the dead shall not have died in vain and that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Two years later the Confederacy finally surrendered to the Union. As a result of the war, slavery was abolished and the United States of America was one country again.
