7. The Civil War was almost certainly inevitable. The only way I can see it not happening is if all the plantation owners got saved, decided slavery was wrong, and set them all free of their own accord. Even if this happened, the production of the South would go, well, south, which it did, after the slaves were freed. America needed slaves to grow as strong as it did.
I thought it was a great idea to have a Missouri Compromise: All the states made above this line are Free, all the states made below this line are slave. The Kansas-Nebraska Act looked fine to, on paper. Let each state decide for itself, a nice federalist concept. But I think this is one of the few situations where the National Government needed to make one decision. So the Missouri Compromise was good and might have kept the county together for a long time. But people don't like slavery in the "Land of the Free." Eventually, slavery would have to be abolished, and there is no easy way to do that.
I'm glad the War happened. If it were not for Stephen Douglas and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the war would have been years later. The Missouri compromise could not have lasted forever, maybe about the time mustard gas comes into use, that would be the time for a Civil War.
