    The Northerners opposed slavery, whereas the agriculture dependent Southerners supported it. It was on this issue that the most acerbic debates took place. For the unity and efficiency of the whole country, both sides gave in and made the most famous of the compromises, the Three-Fifth Clause, which won unanimous approval. Not wanting to loose the valuable revenues from the South, the Northerners compromised again in the Constitution by prohibiting Congress from outlawing the slave trade for at least twenty years in order to appeal to the masses. Was this necessarily the right and just decision? No. But it undeniably guaranteed the South as a part of the…

    The United States had many differences in the beliefs between it’s two sections, the North and the South. At first, the two were not as separate on their opinions. However, with no actual compromise being reached to solve their problems until after the Civil War, they were unable to avoid secession. Many of the compromises and decisions were constantly being changed. They never really satisfied both sections. Some examples are the Compromise of 1850, Dred-Scott decision, Kansas-Nebraska Act, etc. All of these were unsuccessful in keeping the North and South together. I believe if successful compromises were made to please both sections and were not constantly being changed, the Union could have stayed together.…

The country split as the South began to leave the nation, state by state, one by one. Standing separately, the two nations, the United States of America and the newly formed Confederate States of America, prepared for war.

    They depended greatly on the North for their industries and factories, because they had very few. They also opposed federal spending on internal improvements and they wanted no tariffs. Even despite having a somewhat weak economy, the South wanted to gain their independence to become their own country, and to have their own way of life, which included slavery as legal. When Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860, the South thought that they would have no voice in the government, considering that Abraham Lincoln was against slavery. In hopes of being their own country, the South had no intention of fighting a war. However, before the war started, the South was unwilling to compromise. They thought that slavery should be allowed in all of the territories. They disagreed to the Missouri Compromise and to parts of the Compromise of 1850. Many felt that these compromises were unfair and biased. The South felt that their way of life and views on slavery were right and just. They turned to what they thought was their only choice: seceding from the Union. This enrage the North, which was one of the main causes of the Civil War.…
