a)South Carolina,Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas Louisiana, irginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

b)Abraham Lincoln

c)When Abraham Lincoln was elected as president in 1860. Southerners thought the government was becoming too strong. They did not think the government had the right to tell them how they should live. Southerners felt if they stayed in the United States, the North would control them.The northern states were called the Union. President Lincoln said he would fight to keep the southern states as part of the United States. There were Union forts on Confederate land. The Confederates wanted Union soldiers to leave these forts. In Charleston, South Carolina there was a Union fort called Fort Sumter. The Union soldiers refused to leave this fort, so the Confederates fired cannons at the fort on April 12, l861. This was the beginning of the Civil War.

d)1861

e) The issue that was left out of our Constitution, that could not be resolved by peaceful consensus,was settled by the Civil War. The North won, and the seceded states were eventually reabsorbed into the Union.

f) It all started because of the Southerners were afraid that the Northerners would overpower them and this can related to the novel as it shows the relationship of the two parts of America whereby they were very cautious of each other just like in the novel where White and Black are socially different.
