The American Civil War

Answer 1

Civil war is inevitable if there is no unity among the people.

Answer 2

Great Question. I believe it was inevitable. It is a crime that 160 years later, most people in the USA, only acknowledge the fact that "whites" owned slaves and forget the more important fact that some other "whites & blacks" fought and died for the freedom of all Americans.
The US Civil War is so much more complex than just the war itself. You must look at the events prior to the CW inorder to understand why it occured, what abolitionists & slave owners believed/battled for and how those events enabled the North to win. The Civil War wasn't about black and white, rather right and wrong, with the two most important factors being: keeping the Union in one piece and ending slavery. The Southern slave owners had threatened civil war with many presidents prior to Lincoln. Those slave owners were for the most part, Democrats and very few held the care of keeping the Union together. The Republicans passed several laws to limit the spread of slavery, while Democrats tried to overturn them and spread slavery. In 1860 Lincoln was elected and on Dec. 20th 1860 S.Carolina seceded. One week later, 6 other slave states seceded, formed the Confederacy and drafted the Confederate Constitution. On April 12th 1861, Confederates in S.Carolina attacked Fort Sumter, the 4 remaining upper southern slave states joined the Confederacy and the Civil War began.
It is important now, just as it was then to listen to what a person is says and not what color the person is. It is unfortunate that so many Americans remember the existence of slavery more and have almost forgotten all those who believed in freedom and fought to preserve it. Appreciate what we were given. Go Vote and contribute to making the USA a better place.

Thanks.

Answer 3

The American Civil War was avoidable.

All Congress had to do was make the tariff laws fair, and give domestic agriculture the same protections that it gave domestic manufacturing.

Short of that, Lincoln could have acknowledged the right to secede, and forced Congress to negotiate their re-entry to the Union, which would have meant making the tariff laws equitable.

They could have negotiated slavery out of existence at that time, as it was becoming apparent in the South it wasn't economically viable in the long run anyway. This would have been made more difficult by the fact that the more profitable part of the slave trade existed in the North, where the slave ships docked and many slave auctions took place.

You have to realize that Lincoln very nearly had two Civil Wars on his hands. There was an uprising in NYC against conscription that could have easily escalted into another secession.

Answer 4

Yes. The Brest-Litovsk peace agreement was an abomination to the average Latvian.
