There were many factors that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War. From westward expansion to the several pieces of congressional legislation. Choose two (2) contributing factors that you think most significantly led the states to war and explain why using the information from the chapter to support your own opinion. **Do NOT just claim that slavery led to the Civil War. While that is true, give specific congressional Acts or conflicts/events that demonstrated in what way the issue of slavery led to civil war.
