What were the most significant events and ideas that led to the Civil War? (Hint: Start with Constitution and go from there.)

ONlY USE THE RESOURCES THAT I GIVE!!!
  Get right to the point and support each claim with evidence. Do not use overly long quotes.  If a quote is more than a sentence or two, briefly summarize it, but still cite it.

Begin with a strong thesis statement followed by relevant evidence from the readings and lectures. Cite your OpenStax online text as (Stax section.#) for example (Stax 2.2); cite the Zinn documents by the author of the document of title if the author is anonymous, for example (Ginsburg 454);  and cite the presentations/lectures as Colling + lecture/slide #, e.g. (Colling 5/42). 
In addition to the Foner text and lectures, you must use at least three primary documents for evidence. These can be found in Zinn.  They are your choice, but you must use the primary documents as significant sources to make your case.
