19. Quickwrite ~ Was war inevitable?
Some historians believe that the Civil War was inevitable, that our country was on a path toward war from the onset of the introduction of slavery in the 1600’s & because of the differences between the northern & southern regions. Others feel that there were several things that could have been done to prevent civil war.
