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 disagreed over the role of federal and state governments in several key areas. One major disagreement was over the issue of slavery. Southern states believed that the federal government should have limited power and that each state should have the right to determine its own policies regarding slavery. They argued for the concept of state sovereignty. On the other hand, many in the North believed that the federal government should have a stronger role in regulating slavery and ultimately abolishing it. They believed that the institution of slavery was morally wrong and that it was the federal government's duty to intervene.

Another area of disagreement was economic policy. Northern states favored protective tariffs and internal improvements, while Southern states, which relied heavily on agriculture and foreign trade, opposed these measures. They believed that the federal government should not interfere with economic affairs and should instead prioritize states' rights.

During the Civil War, these disagreements over federal and state power were further intensified. The Union government, under President Abraham Lincoln, sought to assert its authority to end slavery and preserve the United States as a whole. This led to the centralization of power in the federal government and the suspension of some civil liberties. On the other hand, some states in the South, which had formed the Confederacy, viewed this as an encroachment on their sovereignty and fought to maintain their independence.

Overall, the Civil War highlighted and intensified the disagreements over the role of federal and state governments in America. It ultimately led to a redefinition of federal power and a stronger central government.
