Find the level of which how the North and South's intense ideas drove them to a worse sectional crisis through its' ways. Pages 346, 348, 353
The most ultimate act of aggression would be an attack, and separation is just a step away from that. Similar to the Boston Tea Party, tensions rise very drastically over time, from just disagreeing people, to riots against each other, including plantation owners and Northerners.

Now that every state legislature except for one demanded the prohibition of slavery in the territories, each state is taking strict action in making sure slavery is known to be outlawed and not wanted later in the course of America's history.

Explain the importance for each side (North and South) to get more land in a conflict specifically intense on influencing people living in each side. Pages 356, 351, 353, 340
Manifest Destiny, as well as the conflicting "border" between what is a slave state and what is a free state. It was very important for each side to be growing in size because then, being considered on either side heavily influenced your view. The interaction between each person through what was considered normal.

Also, as this was going on, Zachary Taylor believed statehood could be the solution. And with Manifest Destiny of not only the nation as a whole was growing, so was the expansion of ideas of slavery along with it.

Define how the North and South felt scared of each other's ability to control the government to enforce the ideas of their regions. Pages 351 - 355
In particular, Congress was influenced heavily by both sides, including the people that worked the inner workings of it. Many Congressmen were already sworn to one side or the other, with no way of making a non-biased solution that benefited the "opposing" side. This altogether created more tension, especially to the side that Congress did not favor, Henry Clay.

Now, while they controlled the government, bending its laws in order to suit their side the best, a compromise came about, which was very beneficial to the progress of coming together with the same idea about slavery, because not only did it halt most of the conflict between each other, but it brought about a voice of reason, which caused many Congressmen to calm down and actually think of a way, much bigger than this one, to agree.

Determine the cause and effect the people that supported slavery versus the people who did not, and how their beliefs effected their moral identity. Pages 355 - End.
Slavery in the South characterized each Southerner for many reasons, and one included them all believing in it together, which brought them closer just like another nation, separate from those that did not believe in slavery.

A prime example of the separation between the North and South was the intense opposition to the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850 (Pg 355). The mobs that were formed angered the South, growing even more tension. This in turn affected their identities by creating ties between where you live, and how you think about slavery. Many Southerners felt it was in their identity to believe slavery served as a way of life.
