Question

The great economic and social divisions between the North and South in the first half of the 1800s eventually led to the Civil War. During those prewar years, the North industrialized, urbanized, and became more reliant on wage labor. In contrast, the South remained a rural, agricultural society that focused on slavery to harvest cash crops like cotton and tobacco. Historians have often said that due to the huge differences between the two regions, the Civil War was inevitable. What do you think could have been done, if anything, to prevent the war? Also consider the issue of slavery, which became so central to the disagreements between the North and South. Could simple compromise or political debate between the two sides have eventually ended slavery without a war? Be sure to point to evidence from throughout this unit or that you have found on your own that supports your viewpoint.....Please help! (couple sentences needed.)

Answer 1

Well I think that the compromise could if been initiated if both sides would have agreed to sharing and trading goods with each other  rather than trying to see which side was better at producing goods. But the issue of slavery was never going to be resolved because of the demand for slaves to harvest crops in the South and the non-stop debate of ending it in the North. So the two sides would have never ended it without the war because it was a hot topic for the people back in that time. This is credible because I learned that there were plenty of political debates that happen with Abraham Lincoln to convince others to stop slavery but they never worked and the war still happened so it was almost impossible to dodge.  ( Brainliest Answer ! )
