- One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspectives is about slavery like how North thinks slavery should end and don't support it. And how South support slavery and thinks it should not end.

- I think the Northern side has the strongest argument because of how it having a better choice and better explaining.

- Something new I learned about slavery was the Fugitive laws like that laws is about how people capturing escape slave and if they are found there going to get in trouble like getting in jail and pay money.

One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspective is them fighting whether or not Slavery should end or continue. I agree with the Northerns side because the slaves don't get anything out of it but staying alive, they get tortured every single day until they die. One thing I learned is about the fugitive laws which is laws about runaway slaves getting caught they will get into big trouble and put into jail.

One important difference between the Northern and the Southern perspectives is that the North is against slavery and the South is for slavery. I think that the North had a stronger argument because the North more people including slaves like the north instead of the south. One thing I learned about the Civil war is the perspectives of the North and South.

One important difference between the Northern and Southern was them fighting about weather slavery should continue or end. Also I agree with North argument because the slaves are getting tortured and getting nothing out of it. One thing I learned about the Civil War today was the Southern states believed in the concept of states' rights, which gave individual states the authority to govern themselves and make decisions independently of the federal government. When conflicts arose between state and federal laws, particularly regarding issues like slavery, states' rights became a divisive issue that contributed to the growing divide between the North and the South.

The North had the stronger argument because it was consistent and focused on keeping the country together while also moving toward more freedom for everyone. The South, on the other hand, claimed it cared about states’ rights, but really it just wanted to protect slavery. This is clear because the South only supported states’ rights when it helped their cause. What’s interesting is that even though the Confederacy was built on the idea of state independence, it ended up creating a stronger central government during the war. They even forced people into the army through a draft, which went against their whole idea of states being free to make their own choices.

- One important difference between then North and the South is that the North wanted Lincoln to be a president but obviously the South didn't want him elected since they thought they he would get rid of slavery even though he said he wouldn't (he did).

- The North had a stronger argument. For instance, The North thought that slavery denied basic human rights to millions of people.

- One new thing I learned is that the South fought to keep slavery, not just for states' rights.

An important difference between the North’s and South’s perspective on our group’s topic is that the North disagreed with the use of slavery. Meanwhile the South agreed with slavery and depended on it. I believe the North had the better argument because even though the South depended on it for its economy, a book about the life of slaves really shows how bad the conditions were for them. Something I’ve learned about the Civil War was the fight/battle between Sanford and Dred Scott that happened in 1857 and how much the courts agreed with the owners rather than the slave’s family and life.

1: One important difference between the Southern and the Northern perspectives is on slavery, and the North did not like it and wanted it to not exist, while the South needed slavery and thought it was good.

2:I think that the North had the stronger argument because the north had fights for human equality, and showed why humans should not be enslaved. While the Souths main objective was just to keep slavery around so they did not have to do anything.

3:One new thing that I learned about the civil war is that the south and the north were not just fighting about slavery, but also about states rights?

One important difference between the Northern and the Southern perspectives is about how the Northern wants the slavery to end and doing anything to make it stop while the Southern wants to keep slavery and starts to make rules and laws to keep Slavery and their slaves. I feel like the Northern has the best argument because of their right decision and actually helped the slaves psychically rather than make more rules about to defend their own argument. One new thing that I learned about the Civil War is that Slavery is a big reason why it had happened.

One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspectives is. . .

The north economy relied on wage labor and manufacturing, not slave labor. 
The south economy was almost entirely dependent on enslaved people to harvest its massive cash crops, such as cotton.

In my opinion I think the north had a better and stronger argument because

the north thought that slavery was against freedom, human rights, and equal rights.

One new thing I learned about the civil war today is how different the economies of the south and north were. . The north was more about factories and the south was majority about farms, plantations, and agriculture.

One important difference between the Northern and the Southern perspective is North wanted slaves to be free while South wanted their slaves back. I think North had a stronger argument because the South used many slaves to provide for their economy but than the North opposed the expansion of slavery because they didn't they think slavey was right. One thing I learned about the Civil War is Dred Scott v. Sandford because he lived in a free state but stayed as a slave.

One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspectives is that the north does not agree with the southerns about slavery. The north is against slavery while the south depends on it and wants it to continue but the north wants it to stop.

I think the people from the north had the strongest argument because they had empathy and understood that slavery is not right and people from the north agreed and knew it was not human equality.

one new thing I learned about the civil war today was about the argument about Sanford and Dred Scott since it showed how the court gave more side to the people other than the slaves.

Date: 9/29/25

One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspective was what they thought about slavery. The Northern states opposed slavery and they wanted slavery to stop spreading into new territories cause they believed that it was a wrong. But the Southern states believed that slavery was an essential part of their economy. I think that the Northern states had a stronger argument because they believed that slaves should have the same amount of freedom and equality like everyone else who weren't slaves. One new thing I learned about the Civil War today was, in 1850, people were forced to capture runaway slaves and if they were caught helping a slave escape, they would be fined $1000 and go to jail. This was called the, Compromise of 1850.

One new thing I learned about the Civil War was the argument about Sanford and Dred Scott. It showed how more people support the slave owners than the slaves.

One important difference between the Southern and Northern perspectives was Slavery. I think the North had the stronger argument because it had better reasoning, when Harriet Beecher published 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' many realized how inhumane slavery was and joined the movement to end slavery, proving that the North had better reasoning.

Something new that I learned about the Civil War today was that the South and North had completely different points of view when it came to slavery, specifically 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', many people from the North were enraged and that book made their determination to end slavery stronger. While the South denied and claimed that what the book showed was lies, making it clear they really thought they were in the right or just in denial.

one important difference between the Northern and Southern perspective on the presidential election of 1860 which Lincoln got the most votes (mostly North), the North was delighted with the result but the south was not. This was because Lincoln never supported slavery which is why the North voted for him but the south was disappointed that he got elected- since south rely on slaves for farming and economics. I believe the north has the strongest argument because soooooo many people including the president are against slavery. I also believe that slavery is unnecessary and unfair to slaves because they are freaking human being that deserve freedom and equal rights; not some southern farmer and land owner's "properties". Like I just think that this whole thing is just so stupid because they are just violating human rights and ruining millions of lives when there is no point, just because they look different. Lincoln made a law that stopped the spread of slavery, there was also a book published called "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that is about slaves that escaped cruel but true experience about being a slave before escaping. Her book became worldwide popular that so many people read it and went against slavery. The women that wrote this book meet Lincoln and Lincoln made a joke saying "This is the woman that started the Civil War". One new thing that I learn in today and Friday's lesson is about the Dred Scott v. Sandford because the other texts and articles we read are things we learned in 7th grade meanwhile this is something new. Scott fought for some civilship but he failed and decide to go to the supreme court. even though he still lost the case he is a great example of showing determination and fighting for what's right.

A difference the North and the South had was their view on slavery. The south wanted slavery to expand and continue on due to their economy being depended on agriculture. On the other hand, the North had factories and believed in equal rights for white people and people of color. In my opinion, the North had a stronger argument due to their consistency of keeping the Union a whole while striving for independence for all people of color. The South left the Union in fear of the tradition of slavery dying but used the excuse of state rights and independency. Contrasting with that, the South created a stronger central government during the Civil War and forced people into fighting in war with a draft which completely cancels out the point of their separation and creation of the confederacy. In conclusion, the North had a stronger argument.

• One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspective was their view on slavery. The North believed slavery was wrong and wanted to end it, while the South thought it was necessary for their farms and economy.

• In my opinion, the North had a stronger argument because they believed that all people should be free and treated equally. Their view point supported human rights, while the South's argument was mostly about keeping slavery to help their economy.

• One new thing I learned about the Civil war today was the election of 1860. The northern perspective was that people were happy Abraham Lincoln became president because he was against slavery. The southern perspective was that people were angry since Lincoln didn't support slavery, even though he didn't end it right away.

Date: 9/29/25

One important difference between the Northern and Southern perspective is their views on slavery. For example like how the south depended on slavery heavily for labor and other stuff. The north however weren’t fond of the idea at all and didn’t want slavery to expand to the new territories. I think the north had a much stronger argument because the south really only needed slaves for their work but their argument doesn’t justify how cruel using slaves for their owns needs were. The north had a much stronger argument that could support why slavery shouldn’t be expanded. One thing I learned today about the Civil war was about the Missouri compromise, where Missouri was made into a slave state and Maine was a Free state this was to make both sides happy.

One important difference between the Northern and South perspective is about how slavery should be remove or not. I believe that the North side is stronger as slaves are humans too and that there equal. It is not worth for a slave getting tortures everyday for their work and that the North has better reasoning and explaining overall. Slaves deserve basic human rights. One thing I learned is the Fugitive law and that if a escaped slave is found, they have to be be captured and sent to jail.
