Why was sectional compromise impossible in 1860?

Sectional compromise did not work in 1860 for many reasons. One of them being that this was the time during the great potato famine in Ireland, so the refugees cascaded into the northern states in the 1850's. Therefore, the north had no room. Once the Europeans were in America, they had no desire for the practice of slavery, and the north states were not convinced to compromise over slavery. The new compromise was put out for grabs, but Lincoln rejected it because he would not allow the extension of slavery. Also, the Crittenden Compromise would allow new slave states, but Lincoln would not accept this, either.

Could the Civil War have been avoided What decisions could either side have made that could have stopped a war before it started?

The Civil War could possibly have been avoided through more effective compromise and negotiation around key issues such as slavery and states' rights. If Southern leaders had been willing to accept gradual emancipation or if Northern leaders had shown more flexibility regarding states' autonomy, tensions might have been eased. Additionally, stronger political efforts, such as the Missouri Compromise or the Compromise of 1850, could have been pursued with more commitment from both sides to find a lasting solution. Ultimately, the deep-seated ideological divisions and economic interests made conflict increasingly likely.


Assess the success of Republican reconstruction?

The main goal for the reconstruction in the Civil War was to rebuild and accept the South in the US again, but radical republican reconstruction wanted to make the South pay for what they had done. The radical republican reconstruction was somewhat of a success in that they had several bills passed in Congress against the South.

Why wasn't the north and the south able to compromise over their differences in 1861?

They did - the Missouri Compromise. This lasted thirty years, and was only rendered impractical by the admission of California, a state that extended so far on either side of the Missouri line that both sides claimed it. If only California could have been admitted as two separate states - North and South - there needn't have been a Civil War. The Missouri Compromise was very sensible, and deserved to last.
