Answer 1

The debate of slavery divided the country because of this lead to the civil war. The south was built on the principles of slavery, needing them to work and serve on plantations. The north was built on opportunities and chances relying on urbanisation. When Abraham Lincoln became president he set off to free the slaves " Being free is a human right" this angered many southerners who believed that slaves were less then humans. The south seceded the north because of this which sparked the civil war.
