Image that represents the event/person •Date and event •1-2 sentences describing the event Issue #4 - Secession It is the end of 1860. Lincoln has just been elected president. The slave states are talking about secession (leaving the union). Your job is to find some compromise on slavery that will prevent civil war. The North’s Starting Position • Slavery is immoral and must not be allowed to expand • Secession is illegal. Once a state, always a state • The union must be preserved; we will fight to keep it together. The South’s Starting Position • Slavery is moral and must be allowed to expand • A state come into the union by its own free choice and may secede whenever it chooses • The South and its way of life must be preserved; we will secede if our rights are threatened. Your Plan to save the Union should address these key questions • What should be done about slavery where it already exists? • What should be done about slavery in the territories? • What should b e done about fugitive slaves? • What should the federal government do if a state decides to secede? Write two paragraphs • How did the civil war start (remember to use the catalyst events) • Could this war have been prevented or was it inevitable? Why?
