The North and the South disagreed heavily on the topic of slavery. The North wanted it destroyed, but the South wanted it to spread. As time passed the tension built. One of the tipping points was when John Brown tried to start a revolution by stealing guns for the slaves from a weapons depot in the South. He was caught before anyone was hurt and sentenced to hang. The North call him a martyr, which enraged the South, since he had been planning to hurt and kill them.

Most of the time when slavery was brought up in the time before the civil war at Congress, it would either be ignored or shut down because congressmen were divided on the issue. When Lincoln ran for president, he openly discussed his wanting to end slavery which led to southern states saying they would split if he was elected. Lo and behold, he was elected so the southern states split off into the Confederacy starting the Civil War. This is probably a small part of how the politics of slavery helped to ignite the Civil War, but it gives you an idea on how divisive slavery was among politicians and the states.

Hat are some examples of constitutional ideas that actually came from Britain?
Marianna [84]

Answer/Explanation:

Under the AOC each state got one electoral vote for each senator and the number of representatives in the state.

Virginia basically wanted a rule where "<em>the more people in the state the more votes"(house of representatives)</em>

New Jersey wanted the same amount of votes from one house(the senate) no matter the population of the state.

Roger Sherman came up with the great compromise that solved this issue. He created a house of representatives that voted based on the population of the state. He also created a senate with equal representation for each state.
