 UNIT GOAL:  Students will be able to analyze how the United States -- intensified by expansion and deepening regional divisions, debates over slavery and other economic, cultural and political issues -- led the nation into civil war.

For Gilder Lehrman go HERE

Panic of 1857

Crimean War in Russia had overstimulated the growing of grain.  The North was hardest hit.  Five thousands businesses failed.  The South enjoyed favorable cotton prices.  A few months before the crash the Tariff of 1857 reduced duties to 20 percent - the lowest since the War of 1812.  Northern Manufacturers blamed the low tariff.  The South thrived from the low tariff and cotton prices.  It gave the South overconfidence in the important of "King Cotton". 

Test Review

 UNIT GOAL:  Students will be able to analyze how the United States -- intensified by expansion and deepening regional divisions, debates over slavery and other economic, cultural and political issues -- led the nation into civil war.

Civil War causes (according to handout packet): 1) Slavery - moral issue in North vs. defense of expansion in South; 2) Constitutional disputes over State vs. Federal Union rights/powers; 3) Economic Differences - industrialized North vs. agricultural South; 4) Political blunders and extremism
