From the statements and speeches of these two political leaders, it is clear that the problems over slavery had plagued the country for decades, even generations. Your task in this final paper assignment is to clearly explain the THREE most significant or critical events that led to the coming of the American Civil War. (In other words, what do you think were the three most significant/critical events leading to the Civil War and why?) In addition, when do you believe the Civil War became inevitable and why? – YOU CAN ONLY USE ONE EVENT PER DECADE. The purpose of this assignment is to analyze change over time- not to see how well you took lecture notes for the last two days of the semester. Do not use events prior to 1780 because you need to focus on post-American Revolution period.
– Clearly explain the role slavery played in driving a wedge between the north and the south.
– Clearly explain the details of your three most significant/critical events.
– Clearly explain WHY you think each of these events is among the most significant/critical events leading to the Civil War.
– Clearly address the question: when do you believe the Civil War became inevitable and why.
Your paper must have an underlined argument in the introductory paragraph that addresses the assignment question. If you cannot clearly explain your position, and underline that argument, how do you expect your TA to know your argument? Your paper will be penalized if you do not underline your argument. Your paper must be based on historical evidence provided in lecture and you need to cite your evidence with footnotes/endnotes. Any use of internet sources or texts not assigned for this course will result in an F on the assignment and may be grounds for Academic Misconduct.
