Events Leading Up to the Civil War
Events sometimes force people to make difficult decisions. By the late 1840’s, the
nations' borders stretched beyond the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
Americans now had to decide whether slavery would be allowed in the new territories of the West. At first, compromise seemed possible. But as the debate and violence increased, Americans came to realize that the nation
could not continue half slave and half free. In the end, the issue would be decided by war.
