Connect to Self
I used to have a friend ( let's call him J ). J and I were great friends until sixth grade when he got all mad at me and complained to his mom. His mom, in turn, got mad at me as well, and if i can remember correctly,, she called my parents about it. The issue was not all the significant, and J was a little oversensitive, but I mean, most of that stuff happened in kindergarten and he's jut getting onto me now? I didn't know what to do. My parents and I had a talk over it, and said I had to go talk to J and apologize to him. So that's what I did. But when I said I was sorry sand shouldn't have done that he just turned around and said he couldn't trust me. Then he ran off and went to tell the counselor about what I did. After that day I haven't talked to hum much, but we're still kind to each other.
Now, was this issue as big as the civil war? Of course not! But it did have an impact on my life. There are many things that could cause an argument about society (slavery, women's rights, drug laws, etc.). The civil war was mainly over slavery, but there were many other causes too ( slavery, state's rights, plantations, etc.). |

Which side would you have taken?
I would have chosen the north because of their viewpoint on slavery and society. They were more developed, and better suited for war.
