How did disagreements over the issue of slavery extending back to debates on constitution convention make a civil war inevitable?

It would be an error to say that the issue of slavery, a long time practice in the Western Hemisphere, made a US civil war inevitable. It's easy to say that of course by the use of 20-20 hindsight historians. However the logic of the "inevitable" cannot stand the light of day. Before the discussion of this goes further, it's wise to remember that the success of the American Revolution was not inevitable. Looking back, was it "unfair" British taxation that made the American revolution inevitable? Examples of inevitability can be said about many events in history. With faulty logic out of the way, there were innumerable chances to abolish slavery in the British-American colonies and in the United States. The will to take advantage of them was not there. The problem reached a point of critical mass with the unusual 1860 US presidential elections that had four candidates. With that said, the first chance was the ratification debates on the US Constitution. There was nothing that made slavery a "can't do without it issue". Then, the number of slaves were small compared to 1860, and it involved a few "colonies", not one half of a country with over 30 million people.

Actually, Vicksburg was the true turning point. Grant sealed off the Mississippi from the South, making it unusable to send reinforcements and supplies. Battle-oriented historians go for Gettysburg, but Vicksburg is the strategic turning point.


Is the battle of Chapultepec the turning point for the north over the south?

No. Chapultepec was one of the last battles during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). The turning point of the American Civil War (1861-1865) was the Battle of Gettysburg.


How was Gettysburg a turning point for the American Civil War?

Technically, The Battle of Bull run was the first battle of the American Civil War, fought in Virginia, near Washington D.C when the Confederates won, so It's not because it was the first battle fought


What is the difference between unavoidable and inevitable?

This is how I see it: Inevitable = Not Avoidable now or ever. Unavoidable = Not Avoidable now, but is or was avoidable at some point. For example: The saying goes "Death and Taxes are inevitable", (but that's wrong). You are born and one day you die, death is Inevitable. You may try to avoid paying taxes, but it's incredibly difficult, therefore Taxes are Unavoidable, but not quite Inevitable.


What was the secound battle of the Civil War?

The second battle of the American Civil War following the Battle of Fort Sumter was the Battle of Sewell's Point. The Battle of Sewell's Point took place on May 18th and 19th 1861 in Norfolk County, Virginia. It was an artillery duel between some federal gunboats and Confederate Batteries on Sewell's Point. Very little was accomplished. The Second Major Battle of the American Civil War was the Battle of First Manassas/Bull Run and was a Confederate Victory.
