What were the options that Union General Winfield Scott offered to the problem of Southern session?

US General Winfield Scott prepared four options that in his view could solve the problem of session. Scott clearly wanted to avoid a civil war, and his advice to both Lincoln and Buchanan can be summarized as follows:1. Abandon former party designations for a new one called the Union Party and to adopt peaceful proposals and continued dialog between the North and the South. He believed this would help avert a Southern session;2. Scott suggested that the Federal government collect import duties outside the ports that were subject to Southern interference;3. Scott presented the idea of waging a war against the South, to "conquer" it and restore peace to the Union; and4. His last option called for the Federal government to simply let the South move forward with its session.


What view of the US Civil War was shared by generals McClellan and Winfield Scott?

US General Winfield Scott was very aware of the prospect of a secession by Southern states. He had prepared plans of different types that the US might use to end any such rebellion. Scott believed that approximately 300,000 Union troops would be required if the US chose to end the rebellion by force. Like George B. McClellan, he expressed the view that such a conflict would cause great destruction of life and property in the South. No matter how "perfect" an invasion might be, it would be a disaster for the US as a whole. General George B. McClellan also wanted the US Civil War to not destroy the Souths infrastructure. He believed that only enemy armies should be attacked and that Southern civilian lives and property not be destroyed.

Why were the north and south fighting during the civil war?

The Civil War was fought over the secession of the southern states. Southern secession generated the US federal government's military campaign to reclaim the southern states and crush the rebellion against the federal government. The reason the southern states seceded is that they feared US federal government intervention in the racist institution of African slavery. Many people say that North and South went to war over "states' rights," but this is an historically revisionist viewpoint expressed primarily by persons in the South who are enamored of a factually incorrect historical view of the Civil War. A review of the official secession documents (secession convention resolutions and secession ordinances) of the eleven states that seceded shows that nine of the eleven states named Northern interference with the institution of African slavery as the reason for secession. The Vice-President of the CSA, Alexander Stephens, in announcing the Confederacy gave protection of the racist institution of African slavery as the "cornerstone" upon which the Confederacy stood (Alexander Stephens -- "Cornerstone" speech.) He described African slavery as justified on moral, scientific, and racial grounds. The Southern states seceded solely to preserve the institution of African slavery. The US federal military entered the southern states to subdue the rebellion. The US and the CSA fought the Civil War over the southern institution of African slavery.
