I'm writing a paragraph in my DBQ about how the North and South divided over the issue of slavery.

The North and South were divided over the issue of slavery.

that's all i got ... BUT document 4 explains the divide over slavery which is related to the task.

in the chart under divided over slavery - views on slaves (slaveholders, moderates, ablitionists)

so i should write for the second sentence - there are 3 views of slavery - slaveholders, moderates, and aboilitionists. (does that sounds good...???)

and then I write what it is and the difference between them.

is that good?????

Yes, that would be a good idea.

ok thanks :)

You're welcome.

i don't now how to do it

same im doing one 2

Yes, that sounds like a good start to your paragraph on how the North and South divided over the issue of slavery. To further develop your paragraph, you could provide more details about each of the three views on slavery mentioned in document 4: slaveholders, moderates, and abolitionists.

For example, you could explain that slaveholders were individuals who owned slaves and believed in the preservation of slavery as an economic and social institution. They often regarded slaves as property and argued that slavery was vital for the prosperity of their states' agricultural economies.

On the other hand, moderates were individuals who did not necessarily support or oppose slavery outright. They held various perspectives ranging from advocating for gradual emancipation to exploring alternative labor systems. Moderates aimed to minimize conflict between the North and South and sought compromise solutions.

Lastly, abolitionists were individuals who vehemently opposed slavery and fought for its immediate and complete abolition. They viewed slavery as morally reprehensible and saw it as necessary to challenge the institution at all costs, even if it meant risking political and social stability.

By elaborating on these differences in views and their impact on the North-South divide, you will further build your argument in the DBQ and provide a more comprehensive analysis of how the issue of slavery created division between the two regions.
