Illustrations of the Pro-Slavery Argument Resource Type: Primary Source These illustrations support the institution of slavery. Why? The Civil War and the Expansion of Slavery Resource Type: Document-Based Question This DBQ focuses on the decade of crisis, the 1850s, during which the question of the expansion of slavery tore the country apart. The documents selected include the classic evidence that can be used to prove that the expansion of slavery was the most important cause of the Civil War, 1861–65. Calhoun on the Compromise of 1850 Resource Type: Primary Source John C. Calhoun became the South's most powerful advocate as senator from South Carolina for most of the period from 1832 to 1850. Expansion of Slavery into the Territories Resource Type: Point-Counterpoint Eric Foner argues that the debate over whether the territories (particularly land acquired from the Louisiana Purchase (1803) and through the Mexican-American War (1846–48)) would be carved into slave or free states was the key political issue of the 1850s and the major source of conflict between northern and southern states. A teacher compares the interpretation of William Gienapp with Foner's view. | |
