In this unit, you've looked at opposing viewpoints
on issues that drove one of the most controversial
eras in US history-the time before, during, and
after the Civil War. As you know, some of the
same issues still exist in twenty-first century
American culture and politics. For example, race

federal control are still targets of movements for
social change. And each issue meets up with

conflict, and how long might that take?

Historical Context:
