Analyzing The Civil War 535746

I want some help getting started on my ‘Examining the Civil War Paper’.

Explain the origins, legacy and significance of the Civil War. Comprise the given in the paper:

a) The importance of slavery in the economic, social and political growth of 18th and 19th century America.

b) Explain why a democratic nation failed to address the crisis peacefully.

I would appreciate as much information as possible as I still want to write 5.5 pages.
