The compromise also established the 36°30' line, with states north of this line being admitted as free and states south being slave. The Nullification Crisis arose from South Carolina's opposition to high tariffs, which were seen as benefiting Northern industries at the expense of Southern agriculture. Henry Clay's Compromise Tariff of 1833 lowered tariffs and prevented secession or civil war. Sectionalism between the industrial North, agricultural South, and expanding West increased tensions over slavery and states' rights. The Compromise of 1850 and Kansas-Nebraska Act attempted but

American Civil War.pptx
The Civil War lasted from 1861 to 1865 and resulted in over 618,000 military deaths. The North had advantages in population, industrial capacity, and control of the navy. However, fighting an offensive war in unfamiliar territory was challenging. After initial Confederate successes, key Union victories at Gettysburg in 1863 and the fall of Vicksburg helped turn the tide. Finally, the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee to Union General Ulysses S. Grant in 1865 marked the end of major combat and the preservation of the United States as one country.

Civil War PPT
The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865, sparked by longstanding tensions between the industrial North and agrarian South. Key differences included the North's opposition to slavery and growing industrial economy versus the South's reliance on slave labor and staple crops. The South seceded after Lincoln's election in 1860 and established the Confederacy, attacking Fort Sumter to start the war. Major battles like Antietam, Vicksburg and Gettysburg weakened the South, and the Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery a Union war aim, leading to the South's defeat and the end of slavery.

Frederick Douglas was an escaped slave who lectured against slavery and published an abolitionist newspaper called The North Star. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 maintained a balance of power in Congress by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, dividing the Louisiana Territory between slave and free territories north and south of the line. The Dred Scott decision of 1857 ruled that slaves were property without rights, further fueling tensions between North and South. Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860 on a platform opposing the expansion of slavery, leading several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America, precipitating the Civil War.
