what ways were the North and the South different from each other before the
Civil War? Do these differences explain why the Civil War happened?
Your answer should come in the form of an essay organized around a thesis that clearly addresses the
assigned topic. You should state your thesis in the first paragraph of your essay and focus on
developing it throughout your entire paper. Each paragraph of your paper should work to persuade your
reader that your interpretation is insightful and correct. A thesis does not have to be simple; complexity
and nuance are signs of thoughtfulness. Your thesis should, however, be crystal clear to your reader.
Please also make sure that your thesis is analytical and explanatory and not merely descriptive.
