I think it is describing how Steven Douglas made the pathetic law stating that each state could decide for it's self whether or not it wanted slavery, and the miniature battles that were fought.
7. Do you think it was possible to avoid the Civil War? Explain.

Personally, I don't think It would have been possible to avoid the Civil war. For one thing, the north and the south were so fired up at each other, that if we didn't have the war, we probably would still not be on the same page even today. For another, what about the Africans? Could we have just said "Eh, I don't fell like fighting today, and I hate getting my pants dirty. Those Africans can just stay put." and ignored them? I think that if we didn't have the war, either the Africans would still be slaves in the south today, or the south would have completely succeeded from he union, and we wouldn't have fifty states today. I think it was a very important war, that history probably couldn't have done without.
