The Civil War: Repressible or Irrepressible

Interpretations of the Civil War have naturally differed according to section, and have been charged with both emotional and moral fervor. Yet despite long and keen interest in the origins of the conflict, the causes of the Civil War remain as passionately debated today as they were a century ago.

In my point-of-view, any event in the course of history can be repressible or avoided. The Civil War itself could definitely be avoided, as it stemmed from one debate and controversy: slavery. The foundation of slavery has had little or no moral effect on most of the white man's conscience. As evolution occurred, most of the people who believe in slavery has occurred in southern states, and most of the believe who believe it to be a little controversial dwell in the northern states. After a long period of time, as Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln Denies Equality (1858)" presented to partisans his perspective of how blacks should be freed from slavery, he did not agree with how blacks should receive equality. The great Abraham Lincoln has failed to impress me. Although not perfect, the document is nonetheless a good example of America attempting to make man as "equal" as possible. Had the greed of the white man be at LEAST as less demanding than forcing/subjugating/oppressing an ENTIRE group of people to do their labor work, the American Civil War could potentially be repressible.
