AWESOME REVIEW

Themes:How did territorial expansion lead to sectional

tension?Was the war mostly one of economic, social or

explain their position?

court Britain and France through ‘cotton diplomacy’


The things you MUST write about

The Panic of 1857 shows that the South feels economically ‘decoupled’ from the North and that trade with Europe will sustain their economy. (We don’t need the North!!)

The thing you CAN write about :Trace the development of North/South confl ict from

tariff s to bank wars to acquisition of land to the election of 1860


Themes:Lincoln’s Position

“If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that.”
