PLEASE HURRY

Do you think we would have had a civil war to end slavery if we had not expanded west and taken territory from Mexico? Thinking about Manifest Destiny, the Texas Revolution, and The Mexican American War, do you think the choice to expand sparked a civil war or do you think westward expansion had nothing to do with the civil war?

I think that we would have yes, the Civil war was mainly about freeing the slaves in the south, witch was pro slavery do to all the farms and plantations, the north was anti slavery, they had more factories witch worked for women and children.


Long story short yes
