The causes for Civil War can be traced back to factors and tensions from early in the nation's history. Write an essay explaining both the long term (up to 1845), and immediate (post-1845) causes of the Civil War. Discuss the ways in which by 1860 the North and South had become far different in the areas of politics, economics, and social customs. In your opinion was the Civil war inevitable or not? If yes, when did it become so? Defend your answer. 2. Write an essay discussing Texas joining the United States. Explain the causes for Texas independence from Mexico and the unsuccessful attempts to join the U.S. Why were Americans divided on the acceptance of Texas and what events led to Texas becoming a state on 29 December 1845. What were the results of this up through 1860? If you were in Congress in 1845, knowing what you do now, would you vote for or against bringing Texas into the U.S., and why? 3. Throughout the semester we have covered several speeches by Abraham Lincoln. Discuss the contents of those speeches and the context of Lincoln before, during and after the Civil War. In your opinion, how does he rate compared to the other presidents we have covered this semester?
