Do the historians in the article generally agree or disagree with one another about the causes and legacy of the Civil War? What does this agreement or disagreement tell us about the reliability and validity of their views?

Historians argue between slavery as the cause or the unrest between free and slave states. Most agree that Lincoln being elected was a deciding factor to the cause of the Civil war. I hope this information has helped. Send a link to the article if you want the actual answer.

Answer:

The historians cited in the article all agree with one another about the cause of the Civil War. Despite coming from different backgrounds and cultures, the historians agree that slavery was the root cause of the Civil War. The fact that all these historians generally agree with one another makes their shared viewpoints more reliable and valid, especially because the historians have different backgrounds and all work for the well-respected institutions of Howard University, Clemson University, and the University of Colorado.

btw. i know you probably dont need this info anymore but for everyone on edmentum, here ya go!
