From Ken Burn's Civil War video, I learned that, it wasn't only the governments arguing upon the issue of slavery. While the Confederates wanted slavery, the Union were headed towards abolishing slavery. I learned from this video that during the Civil War period, a lot of political parties were being formed,. I also learned that many people from the south said that slaves were happy and would rather continue being slaves rather then be free. Another fact from the video was that slaves were paid 5 dollars in court if they said they were free, and 10 dollars if they said that they were slaves. This shows that at that time, the force of law was very corrupt.

Good use of images and tags. Be careful to not overgeneralize so make sure you take very specific notes.
