HISTORY EXAMPLE:5-POINT PARAGRAPH
Slavery was a divisive issue in America. The south depended on slavery as a part of their agricultural economy but the industrial north had a larger population and did not see the need for slavery to expand. As the United States expanded west during the 19th century arguments and fighting about free and slave territories ensued. Kansas was an example that the issue of slavery could result in a bloodbath when illegal voting and fighting began in 1855. Ultimately, slavery was one of the major issues that led to the American Civil War.
