Sectionalism

Unit 4- Secession

The goal of this unit is to help students understand how geographic regions within the United States had developed differing economic, political, and social characteristics and goals. Students will analyze how compromise was no longer seen as a solution to prevent the spread of slavery, the effects of tariffs, and the debate over state versus federal power. The culmination of the unit will ask students to evaluate how the Civil War began as a was to preserve the Union, but evolved in a war to end slavery in the United States, and promote freedom and individual rights.
