Discuss the impact of slavery on shaping southern culture. How did it shape the growing political rift between the North and South? What was the economic and political culture of the antebellum South? What were some major turning points in tying the South closer to slavery? Consider, for instance, the Mason-Dixon Line, Missouri Compromise, Nat Turner rebellion, or the cotton revolution.
How did the question of slavery emerge as a national issue? What compromises were brokered to deal with this issue? What drove it to continue to be debated by the federal government?

What reasons did opponents of slavery give for wanting to eliminate the institution, and what arguments did those who practiced slavery use to defend it? Could there have been a better "answer" to the problem of slavery than a bloody Civil War?
