Topic 7.1-7.2: sectional divisions
Overview:
By the time the Civil War began in 1861, slavery had been an issue in American politics for decades. States that permitted slavery competed with those that did not for influence in the federal government. Deals like the Missouri Compromise of 1820 helped avoid conflict by maintaining a balance between the two sides. However, as the United States expanded across the continent, the conflict over whether to permit slavery in the new territories heated up and compromise eventually proved impossible. (Pearson site)
