could someone please just explain what i’m supposed to do on the assignment. i don’t want to ask my teacher

You have to write an article arguing which caused the Civil War; States Rights or Slavery.

Explanation:

During this time period, states were more independent of the Federal or National Government of the United States. States were almost like smaller countries in on the same country than just regions of in the same country. Back then the economy of the Southern US was pretty much completely dependent on slavery, where as the Northern US had factories. Some people argue that the Civil War was about the moral delimma of slavery where as some people argue that it was actually about the states being able to make their own laws. Basically, was the Civil War about if slavery was bad or if the states could decide their laws regarding slavery
