This week we begin our investigation into the causes of the Civil War. We will look at the main issues that divided the North and South, especially the slavery issue. We will look at the economic differences that existed between the North and South. We will also study how the Missouri Compromise and the Dred Scott decision played major roles. We will examine the significance of the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858 as well. We will focus on the election of Abraham Lincoln and the influence it had on the Southern Revolt.
