PLEASE HURRY Do you think we would have had a civil war to end slavery if we had not expanded west and taken territory from Mexico? Thinking about Manifest Destiny, the Texas Revolution, and The Mexican American War, do you think the choice to expand sparked a civil war or do you think westward expansion had nothing to do with the civil war?

I think that we would have yes, the Civil war was mainly about freeing the slaves in the south, witch was pro slavery do to all the farms and plantations, the north was anti slavery, they had more factories witch worked for women and children.

Long story short yes

The Mayflower Compact was all about self government. It was the first time the colonists had to make decisions on their own without the Monarch's influence. The United States today doesn't go based on self government because it would be detrimental to the people, anarchy would occur. That is why there's 3 branches of government. The legislative, judicial, and executive branch. Those in these branches must work together to avoid and deal with problems the nation may experience.
