What could have been done to prevent the Civil War? Think about an agreement that would have made sense. If you feel the war was necessary explain your answer.
I bet that country leaders probably could've just talked this out. If Congress passed that many compromises and fair laws (Missouri Compromise, etc.) you would think that they would be able to figure out the issue of slavery too. I bet Congress could've done something like the "Reduce but not Destroy" act or something along those lines, setting a limit on how many slaves people could own. If the North wanted to completely get rid of slavery, they could make speeches in the South and make peaceful attempts to abolish slavery. The Civil War wasn't necessary, no war ever is. ~Annabelle Craven
I think the leaders already tried to talk it out in their meetings. Also, some wars are necessary like the American Revolution. If we didn't have the american revolution, we wouldn't be talking about the civil war.

One way that may have prevented the Civil war is a limit of 100-500 slaves in each state. Another way is that the southerners would have had to pay a tax for "their" slaves. The last way is if a state had a lot of slaves, they couldn't get any more.
i think that there should be no war because a lot people can get killed and it is just so sad so no war are nessary in the world ever. also they do it for weird reasons. -ryan
I think that there should not have been a war because it really effected families because the men would have to go to war and the families were left with no dad as you would call it. Then they totally did it for bad reasons because they could have come up with a agreement not a war. So no the war was a bad idea to do. NO WARS!!!! ~Sierra
good job sierra! i would miss my dad too!!!!!!!! also, it asked what you think the people could have done, not why you think wars were a bad idea. :( :( :( :( -bella
i think that the people could have worked it out. they could have talked it out, like had a big meeting with some people, (that the leaders pick from the northern states and the southern states) and talk about why they thought what they thought. the northern states could have talked about why they thought that slaves should not be allowed. the southern states could have talked about why they thought that slaves should be allowed. -bella
I think both would be fine because if there was no war than less people would have died also less slaves would die.If there was no war than there might still be slavery.This what I think. - Annie
I think that the north and the south could have just broke into two nations because they are not much of a UNITED states. That is why I say that the war shouldn't have happened it should've just split the country into nations divided.
I do not think the war was necessary because of all the bloodshed and death. The civil war would end up the bloodiest war the Americans have ever fought. The United States should have settled an equal agreement between the North and the South. The South should make an agreement such as slaves could be paid, given food, water, and shelter. As the 8th Amendment states, "cruel and unusual punishment or fines shall not be allowed". Slaves must not be allowed to escape but could not be whipped or injured.
I hadn't though about it that way. Great thinking! ;) I think that the slave owners didn't pay attention to that law. Also, the 8th Amendment states that "cruel or unusual punishments or fines shall not be allowed" for Americans. I'm pretty sure that would also go for the slaves. Slave owners were very dumb for not paying attention to that.
I think they could have solved with a debate or something peaceful like that. They could have chosen 5 people from both sides and have 5 debates. Whoever won the most debates won the civil debate(named after the civil war). That would have been A LOT more peaceful. Or they could have just made an agreement and get it ALL over with. They all just didn't like each other pretty much. :) :) :) :) - DELANEY:)
I think that they should have come up with agreement to end slavery that would still be fair to the Confederacy. Also,they should of made a paper with states rights that would said all of there rights/slave rights.
I think the Congress could have talked it out. I like the people in the south could only have a certain number of slaves, and the north could try to find a way to make a machine to do the harvesting for them.[ Tractors, etc.]
I think the war was necessary because all people can learn from fights and all friendships have rocky beginnings, like countries. If the war never happened then it is likely we would be living in a corrupted country like in Africa, where poverty reigns supreme. Today we would most likely be owning slaves, or not. If you don't fight, you're not human. If you think everyone can get by on world peace, then when you meet the real world you'll find that rarely things go your way, and when they do, something bad happens right after that. Fighting is inputted into all human's genetic code, and no one can change that
My agreement is that if you are a slave state you should treat your slaves like humans or pay a fine of 1,000,000 dollars. If you don't have enough money then you will have to learn how to treat slaves like humans. As far rich people, you can own slaves but since you do, not only do you have to pay, but half of the food your slaves harvest should go to the slaves. Also seceding is not allowed. You may give your state a new name and form a colony but the state must stay a part of the US of A. However, if you choose to secede anyway you have to pay monthly fines until you join the nation again.
i think that the north and south could have solved this problem peacefuly. they could have a debate. they could have a court section. someone from the south could defend them and someone from the north could defend them.
I think that what we could of done is they could stay their own country but we would help each other out,and have one capital and the same congress.(1 or 2 representatives from each state).
Jason I totally agree the north and south should've just split into two separate nations instead of breaking out into war. And if the war kept going on much more people could've died and a ton of people already did die from the civil war. -Michael
i think the north& south could just work thing out stop slavery and and be separated and people can leave to join the another side if wanted to do that # Nalah
They could have just made an agreement but to be original they could have just had a pie eating contest ( sorry i'm hungry ) or they could've played risk, chess, or something like that then maybe JUST MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we would not be so horrible or anything like that. this awkward comment was from Sophia Schier #NoWar :)
My opinion on this is that the war was unnecessary because they still kept slaves in the confederate.So there was NO POINT of the war if they didn't give up the slaves anyway so really they did NOT need to do the war. -Peyton <3 <3
I don't think there was a compromise to slavery, and what they did is now over and everything is alright in the world. P.S. If they hadn't fought in the war, slavery would still be around......... -Lucy Adams
Hmm, good point. However, couldn't there have been some different compromise? Violence is never the answer. P.S. Slavery would have probably been abolished some other way... ~Annabelle Craven
Not EVERYTHING is alright in the world. Slavery still exists in some places. Have you heard of the "Black Market"? The black market is sort of like a place for people to buy and sell illegal stuff, including slaves. Also, I agree with Annabelle about how "Violence is never the answer." -Sarah Prevost
They could have not fought but discuss the problem to show that slavery was wrong and also the north could have helped the south with money if they could not have slaves the north could have gave them money so they could farm without slaves but with workers who get treated well and get paid well. - harry cook
I would make a compromise that would ban slavery and make more states rights. Since the South wanted states rights and the North wanted to ban slavery, they both would get what they wanted. They also could have talked about it, like grow adults. I agree with you very much Annabelle, I don't think the war was necessary either. - Isabella Luz
Bella, I agree with you on the state rights and the illegal slavery law, because that way the North and the South could get what they want, and instead of war, there would be piece in the US.
I think that both THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH should have not done any revolts just protests because when they did revolts the other side did another to pay them back quickly leading to war. It was also the Congress and judicial branches fault. Because the congress kept making unfair laws and the supreme court because they made very unfair cases like Dred Scot v. Stanford that made the north very mad. Also leading to war, I don't think the war was necessary.
I think that if north and south just sat down and talked for a few minutes they would work something out. Like slavery (not saying it's good) could just go to Asia. This is what I think THEY would have said I'm NOT saying slavery is good that is what THEY would agree on. - Harper
I personally think that the war was not necessary, because since the North wanted to ban slavery, that should have happened.But, the South needed the slaves for their work to be done, but what they wanted more were state rights.So, the South could have their REASONABLE state rights and the North could get the law that slavery was legal abolished, now everyone could be happy.
the war was definitely not i repeat not necessary they could of just agreed that slavery should go or should stay in my opinion it should go but your opinion may be different i hate the idea of white people would kidnap african americans just to do there work it was terrible i hope slavery never starts again alec lozano
I think that the colonies could have met together and tried different strategies. If none work then they could have congress vote. That is what i think.
I think the war was necessary so that slaves could be freed. If there was no war, slavery would still be legal in the south for who knows what!.. ~Emma
I think they should have just built factories in the south so they wouldn't need slaves and they could be let free. It would also stop them from having a big war where they lost a lot of materials a people. kenji
Of corse there had to be a war!!!!!!!!I mean even after the war people still did not let the slaves be free.Even after the South lost everything,they kept the slaves.Do you honestley think they would listen? I do'nt.
I think the United states could of done without the war because they could have easily agreed to abolish slavery and give the states more states right this way both sides get what they want and they don't have to fight about it.Without the civil war we could of saved a whole lot more lives and families that were forced to fight in the war.
I think that when Europeans first came to America they shouldn't have enslaved the Native Americans. Then, they shouldn't have done the Triangular Trade and captured Africans. They stuck there nose into a matter that didn't even concern them. All of their horrible actions added up and they "fell in love" with slavery. If the Europeans hadn't enslaved people in the first place, then nobody would care about slavery. Slavery would be completely disregarded. Eventually, the North (Union) became more industrial, didn't need slavery, and banned it. But the South still valued it, which was one of the main reasons of the Civil War. :c
I think that it was not necessary for the civil war to happen. First many lives were gone, families crying and could have been the bloodiest war like someone said earlier. Next the reasons weren't the best reasons to go to war. I know the North wanted to abolish slavery but when the North won slavery continued. They could of had many meetings and agreed on something. But know that I think about it, they probably be had a THOUSANDS of meetings.
I think there needed to be a war because the South wanted to keep their slaves and the North wanted to free them. Fighting was the only way to solve it.
I think Congress should have talked about making a law making this illegal. Like they should have made a law saying it was illegal to make African Americans slaves. It also should have said that any slaves (Just born into slavery or slaves at the time.) would be free. -Mia Cabral :)
I think that the war was not necessary, and also all other wars. I think that they could just have a peaceful debate where the few highest government people or VIPs would debate over should we have slavery or should we not.It should also be held in a public place so that lots of people could attend. They would each defend their side peacefully and state their opinion about slavery. Then, after the debate, hopefully changing people's minds, the US citizens would get a chance to VOTE and see if more people would want slavery or have slavery become illegal. Depending on the number of votes it would be determined if we would have slavery in the US. (I can see that maybe the slaves would not have gotten free right away since the debating would be happening in small areas at a time. Maybe they should consider making a LAW requiring everyone to set their slaves free.) If we had a debate, not a war, not many people would have died.Also, America wouldn't be so violent after all.
Ok, so sorry about this last second comment. I think the war could have been prevented. First of all we could've maybe had a meeting like when the Founding Fathers created the Declaration of Independence. The debate could be held w/ the two different presidents Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln and other government officials.

I think that the Union states should have had the Confederacy have a taste of their own medicine by making THEM slaves for a day. Then they'd know how slaves feel.
I think the war was necessary because it ended slavery. Without the war, the United States might be two different countries. I really don"t think the war could have been avoided. Tension between the north and south was so tight, that the smallest outbreak could have caused the war. -Aisling
I think the war was necessary because it ended slavery. The United States would be split into two sides. We would have slavery and the Union would not. The war was totally necessary. -Riley
I think that the war was not nessaccary. The U.S could of voted ton see if slavery was really nessaccery or not. There could not of been a war. - Lucy G.

My Mom Is going to contact you any way she will because basically you gave me An F on my Report Card For A 0 Of A REASON! ~ From Eden
They could have agreed that everything should stay how it is but that 4/5 of the people who have slaves have to release them. -Will, I got on last week and didn't see this post.
