Introduction
The issue of slavery is a subject that would forever stain the history of The United States of America. It wwould come to tear the country apart, not only figurative, but also in every sense of the word. The president at the time, Abraham Lincoln, would have to decide whether war against ones' self was the answer. Eventually everything would lead to every citizen of the nation having to choose which side they stood for. You will be provided different questions that will, hopefully, lead you to ponder the previous statements more in depth in order to gain some clarity about The Civil War.
