Answer:

Explanation: The control of the Gulf of Mexico was important for Spain because it was a vast area of deposits of different minerals, (especially silver), and a fruitful agricultural region. For this reason, Spain intended to establish colonizations on the northern coast of the gulf in order to provide protection to merchant and expeditionary vessels and also quickly rescue the shipwrecked.

Do you think the U.S. could have avoided the Civil War, or do you think it was inevitable / unavoidable? Please explain your ans

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

I believe it was not possible to avoid the civil war. If it was avoidable, the north and south would have split into two different countries. Since the two are right next to each other, there would have been constant clashes and disagreements. The southern white would have not cooperate with the north to negotiate giving any slaves rights. As I said, war could have been pushed aside, back ultimately come back as the heat between the north and south would be much greater, creating a much more bloodier of a war than it was originally.
