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 we would have still had the civil war, the civil war was many about freeing the enslaved persons, and the war was mainly between the North and South
