The Nаtiоnаl Crisis Over Slаvery Write an essay (arоund 500 wоrds) that explores the rise of slavery as a national political issue in the United States. Your response should draw from primary sources, lecture material, and readings from the entire semester to support your analysis. Your essay should address the following questions: How did the question of slavery emerge as a national issue? What compromises were brokered to address the conflict over slavery, and why did they ultimately fail? What factors led slavery to re-emerge as a central issue in the late 1840s, despite previous attempts at resolution? You must use primary sources from Folder Eleven. What arguments did opponents of slavery use to call for its end, and how did defenders of slavery justify its continuation? Do you believe there was a better solution to the crisis than a bloody Civil War? Why or why not?
