Your job is to find some compromise on slavery that will prevent civil war. The North’s Starting Position • Slavery is immoral and must not be allowed to expand • Secession is illegal. Once a state, always a state • The union must be preserved; we will fight to keep it together. The South’s Starting Position • Slavery is moral and must be allowed to expand • A state come into the union by its own free choice and may secede whenever it chooses • The South and its way of life must be preserved; we will secede if our rights are threatened. Your Plan to save the Union should address these key questions • What should be done about slavery where it already exists? • What should be done about slavery in the territories? • What should b e done about fugitive slaves? • What should the federal government do if a state decides to secede?
