Answer 1

Prior to the Civil War, the (dominant) discourse over the United States’ future reach a crisis point in that the divide grew between the North and the  South over the status of slaves with the north favoring a more liberal view.

What were the arguments regarding the Constitutionality of slavery and notions of citizenship?

Throughout the mid-1800s, disagreements about the institution of slavery erupted, eventually leading to the Civil War: sociological reasons such as: whites being superior to blacks were presented.

The south contended that slaves were economically useful due to the steady work supply."

Hence the attrition.

How did relative definitions of liberty/freedom/equality become irreconcilable?

The relative definitions of liberty and freedom that became irreconcilable was when the notion of negative liberty was coined.

This notion was suggestive of the fact that:

Negative liberty is the freedom from outside intervention and that it is concerned largely with freedom from external restriction, as opposed to positive liberty (ownership of the capacity and resources to realize one's own potential).
