23.How did Americans disagree over the role of federal and state governments before and during the Civil War?
(4 points)

Answer 1

Before the Civil War, Americans had differing opinions on the role of federal and state governments. Some believed in a strong central government and advocated for federal control over issues such as slavery and states' rights. Others believed in states' rights and believed that the federal government should have limited powers, leaving most decisions up to the individual states.

During the Civil War, these disagreements intensified. The Confederate states, for example, believed strongly in states' rights and seceded from the Union in order to protect their rights to own slaves and govern themselves. The Union, led by President Abraham Lincoln, believed in a strong central government and fought to preserve the Union and end slavery.

This division over the role of federal and state governments was a major cause of the Civil War and continued to be a point of contention throughout the conflict. The war ultimately resulted in a victory for the Union and solidified the federal government's authority over the states.
