GCU History Discussion

 

Articles and videos, answer the questions below; quote or use events from from 2 separate sources for each question.  Be sure to cite the source by name and page, if available. When you quote something, do not make it the entire answer, of course.  Write at least 150 words for each question. 

What are the economic and political issues raised by having an imbalance between free and slave states? Why did the balance of free and slave states matter?

Consider the arguments over the expansion of slavery made by both northerners and southerners in the aftermath of the U.S. victory over Mexico. Who had the more compelling case? Or did each side make equally significant arguments?

* This is the same questions as the discussion and I am aware, I am hoping to see if your answers will differ since you have had time to read the comments of your classmates.
