History Question

The list of terms can be found in the textbook, in Lecture Presentation, outline and in my lecture itself. Terms can be used from any part of the class we have already covered.

Question:

What do you consider the most important factors in the American Civil War? What events or people do you think contributed to the North’s eventual success? Do you think the issue of slavery was paramount or secondary to the overall events?
