Question

HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(1) One of the chief causes of the American Civil War was slavery. Southern states depended on slavery to support their agricultural economy. Only a small proportion of Northerners actively opposed slavery. However, they were opposed to its expansion, in part because they did not want to compete against slave labor. The main debate centered on whether slavery should be permitted in the Western territories recently acquired during the Mexican War (1846-1848).

(2) Looking backward, anyone must marvel at the fact that the American Civil War lasted four years. All the advantages seemed to favor the North. The Union had a population more than double that of the Confederacy. It had most of the factories and railroads, and a merchant marine. The South, on the other hand, was a region of farms. However, the South had two important advantages. First, it did not need to conquer the North: It could simply defend its soil and wait for the North to become discouraged. Second, the South could operate with shorter interior battle lines, thus making better use of its men. In the long run, the North's supplies and men helped decide the outcome of the war.
