this document said that slavery could not spread into other lands gained from Mexico. because of this, the southerners were angered because they wanted slavery and this is one of the things that eventually lead to succession.
Southeners had the stongest idea that secession would lead to war. Truthfully they were asking for it. Northeners strove for peace and tried to preserve the Union.
Because the North saw it as treason, that would also lead to the loss of the cotton revenues.
Other Southern states followed South Carolina's lead in secession and ultimately this led to the skirmish at Ft. Sumtner and the Civil War.
1846
No, because they didn't think their actions would lead to a bloody war
Henry Clay, a leading American statesman, was firmly opposed to secession. He believed that secession would lead to disunion and undermine the strength of the United States as a nation. Clay worked to find compromises to prevent secession and preserve the Union, including his efforts during the Nullification Crisis and leading up to the Civil War.
This all lead to the beginning of a war with Mexico in 1846.
It was a challenge to the integrity of the USA and the sovereignty of the Washington government. It was bound to provoke a reaction.
leave u are wousten your time breh!! get rekt scrub lol u suk
Both sides believed that war was imminent. The build up began well before South Carolina seceded and precipitated the attack on Fort Sumter. Both sides were prepared for the consequences of secession.
Initially because the USA wanted to save the cotton revenues. On later did Lincoln turn it officially into a war on slavery.
I believe it was Mexico. Because the Mexican-American war was from 1846 to 1848.
