Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 3 page paper discussing some of the Constitution-related causes of the Civil War. The new Constitution was only thirty years old when the issue of slavery began to be too troublesome to ignore. It – and its flexibility to meet current needs – would be put to the test in the next fifty years. The purpose here is to examine "constitutional issues having to do with slavery, sectionalism and westward expansion eventually divided the nation and led up to the Civil War." It almost seems that civil war was inevitable in the United States. Each solution later led to additional Constitutional questions that too often had overt slavery and anti-slavery sides.
