The effects of the war are still evident in our culture and our politics. For generations historians have debated whether the root cause of the War Between the States was State Rights or slavery. Some have claimed that the cause was actually expansion of slavery into the West. Whatever argument you pursue it cannot be denied that slavery was central to the cause of division that led to war. Slavery was such a central issue to the debate that it gave rise to a literature all its own. Slaves, slave owners, academics all have penned their experiences, observations and studies of the topic. For this assignment please read the selections from the links I have provided. Once you have read them please put together a paper. The paper must be at least 1,000 words, about 3-4 pages. In your paper I want you to address the following issues: Did the slaves truly feel free as some defenders of slavery insisted? Were they provided for in the same or better manner than Northern factory workers? How did Southerners defend the practice of slavery and considered in the context of the 19th century, was their defense justifiable? Are there analogies between the struggle for Women’s Rights and the emancipation of the slaves?
