Slavery was an indirect/direct cause of the civil war, to understand what led up to the civil war you would have to be familiar with other issues, such as colonization and the bringing in of slaves into Virginia, the Northwest ordinance of 1790, the drafting and signing of the constitution, and the compromises for mo laws for the next 20 years regarding the importation of slaves,( Were all men created free"? only on paper ). Look up the Missouri compromise. the so called 36/30', the compromise of 1850, the Kansas /Nebraska Act, the Wilmont proviso, the Dredd Scott decision, the rise of the republican party, the election leading to 1960 ( Lincoln).. Ft. Sumpter. Also the difference between the north and the south, South agricultural, north industrial, more people in the north, better transportation system, better education, underground rail roads, abolitionists, Uncle Tom's cabin and finally states rights Vs central government.

This and what you have learned in class should make for a good essay in history 37..good luck.
