Problem: It can be proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that slavery was the primary cause of secession and ultimately the Civil War. Write an essay that shows this by detailing the various debates within the government and American society as a whole, using at least six examples from class. Trace the argument from the carly years of the nation through the outbreak of the Civil War. You must use at least three examples from the 1850s and three from the earlier periods in this class (example options below). Fully explain each of your examples and describe how each contributed to the slavery debate.
