What was the main cause of the Civil War? You must include at least four 6w facts. Two of these facts should come from 1)1835-1860 period and 2) 1861 war period and        3) Reconstruction 1865-1877.

You must consider the period from 1835-1860.

You must consider events during the war that show your main cause.

You must consider how the post-war Reconstruction period shows the main cause.

This essay should be a minimum of 4 pages (1000 words). You can write less but your grade will reflect that you did not explain yourself fully.

The Foner text supplies you with facts. The articles and films give you at broader understanding of the issues.

But be careful.

There is a mythology built up in the last 150 years about the cause of the Civil War. A mobile, AL newspaper editor published the first book about the cause of the war in 1875. Southerners wrote the history of this period and historians without a pro-southern bias did not play a significant part in writing the history of this period until the 1950’s. African American historians did offer revisionist history to the "Lost Cause" literature in the early 20th century. But, the mainstream of writing about the Civil War was friendly to the southern cause. The last article you read is written by your textbook author. His article is chosen for the reason that it gives a very good presentation of what happened and what could have been.

As the American Revolution is about today so is a study of the Civil War period.

your personal opinion to what you have read or seen. You should comment on a moral or ethical issue raised in the assignment.  How does the material influence your emotions? How do you feel after being exposed to the assignment? These are examples of how to approach an essay. You are to write about a personal reaction including any ethical or moral concerns. Form an opinion and support it with historic fact from the assignment. This is your thesis statement. 

You must refer to two original historic facts (examples) from the assigned essays inCanvas reading/article or a documentary film to get credit for the assignment. These facts must be directly linked to the opinion you wrote about in part one of the essay for you to get full credit. An original fact is from the time period studied, not a summary or a generalization from current commentators. Always ask yourself if you have answered "for example" in your essay.
