America became a free independent nation. With the signing of the

Treaty of Paris in 1783, the former mother country, England, recognized

that its children, the colonies, were now on their own. A constitutional

republic was birthed, and thus the challenges began. Slavery, the

“Peculiar Institution,” was a monumental issue facing the country. Would

it die or would it survive and possibly take a nation divided with it?

This sectionalism followed Americans up into the Civil War. Dissect this

crisis by addressing parts I and II below.
