Was looking for help with a discussion group topic. the topic is what made Compromise possible in 1877 after the civil war, and not in the 1860s before the fighting began. Was hoping for any ideas or factors I could use to build my argument...
I need some help answering a question about the civil war: - Was the Civil War inevitable? Does evidence from the first half of American history suggest that the North and South would split or could they had found some sort of compromise to avoid this?
The ramifications of the Missouri Compromise are discussed. - This posting explains why the issue of admitting Missouri to the Union precipitated a major national crisis. Why did the North and the South each agree to the terms of the Missouri Compromise?
