What are three causes that lead to the American Civil War?
This question is a broad one and historians cite more than three causes for the US Civil War. Here are some important reasons that this writer believes are especially relevant: A. The founding fathers failed to properly deal with the better goal of ending slavery in a step by step plan, which would have gradually ended slavery either by plans that the British Empire later used or some other formula; B. Slavery had existed in the British colonies since the 17th century and thus had become an accepted "institution"; C. The slave free Northern US States had been complacent over the slavery issue; D. The slavery issue became more complicated when solid Union States were also slave States such as Delaware and Maryland plus even in Washington DC; and E. Statesmen nationwide failed to solve the issues dividing the nation by diplomacy rather than war.
How does Stephen Douglas define the merits of popular sovereignty?
He was rather an optimistic type, who believed that the slavery question could be settled by a local vote in each territory coming up for admission to the USA. He also claimed that a state would automatically be free soil, unless there was active local legislation in favour of slavery. He failed to see that one state voting at a time would bring all the bully-boys descending on that one area. That was what caused 'Bleeding Kansas'.

What statement best explains why john brown's raid failed to reunite forces that opposed slavery?
Without a doubt, John Brown's attempt to begin a slave revolt in Virginia was ill conceived. He, for one reason, did not have enough men in his group to carry out any sort of military victory other then taking over the undermanned Federal Arsenal at Harper's Ferry. His force was no larger than perhaps 23 men. And, as they lacked enough weapons, raiding a Federal arsenal quickly received the attention of Federal forces. Aside from that, Brown chose a place near that arsenal that had few slaves. Even then, the few slaves there did not join his forces in a revolt.
