History

The Middle Atlantic Colonies were called the "breadbasket colonies", because they had rich soil which made them a huge exporter for wheat and grain. They were also the most religious and ethnically diverse colonies. Alongside their big wheat and grain export, they also enjoyed big lumber and shipbuilding industries and had abundant forests which helped them in the textile and iron industry.

a. ONE major difference between Potter's and Holt's historical interpretations of the Civil War is that David M. Potter described the Civil War as an inevitable event given the institutionalized sectionalism between the North and the South.  On the other hand, Michael F. Holt held that the Civil War was an anomaly in American compromise-reaching political tradition.

b. ONE specific historical event or development during 1786-1861 that could support Potter's interpretation is the breakdown of the two-party system.  This development pitted far-right democratic republicanism, which promoted white supremacy, whereas center-right republicanism accepted black equality.

Another historical development to support Potter's interpretation is that the South welcomed the Jim Crow laws and sanctioned the separation principle. On the other hand, the North sought to overturn the law and practice of separatism.

c) According to Holt, the Civil War is ONE specific historical event that proved that America broke with its tradition of compromise.  During the Great Compromise of 1787, healthy rivalry ensued between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists.

Thus, David M. Potter held that the ingrained divisions between the North and the South caused the Civil War, while Michael F. Holt held that the breakdown of the two-party system occasioned the Civil War.
