Historian

The most challenging task.


What caused the Civil War?

Throughout this role, I ask that you take extreme caution so you complete 
all necessary criteria. There are many steps within this role, if you become 
lost or confused PLEASE feel free to ask me questions!

  • Please look at the following causes of the civil war and choose 6 of 8 and write about them. I expect at least two paragraphs with internet and library resources. If you find other Causes for conflict of the Civil War, feel free to write about them, but you must have them approved by me to make sure they are actual causes. Citation of course is essential. Plagiarism is unacceptable so please use your own words or paraphrasing with proper citation. If you need help with citations, ask.
  • Slavery
  • Tariffs
  • States' Rights
  • Abolition
  • Industry
  • Succession
  • Northwest Ordinance
  • Presidential Elections
