his 105 essay 3

History 105

Essay. You must respond to the question below in essay form. Your response should be detailed and use specific material from all parts of our class to support your answer. A typical response is usually at least 4-5 full pages, double-spaced (1200-1500 words and a normal times new roman 12-point font with regular margins), but you may have a longer answer. A paper shorter than 3 pages needs to be very, very good to get a passing grade.

Again…Be sure to use specific examples from the readings and class when answering the essay question. But do not use outside sources and just use material from part 3 of the class (Chapters 11 through 14).

• From the 1830s to the 1860s, differing meanings of freedom tore the nation apart. Race, gender, other minorities, politics at the federal and state levels, culture, economics, and more, it seemed as if the nation had two opposing views on these topics. The end result of this divide was the Civil War. Explain how and why sectional differences widened from the 1830s through the 1860s to the point of conflict. During the Civil War, did one way of thinking and living win over the other? Explain.
