Question: Summarize the points in the lecture, making sure to explain clearly how they challenge the ideas presented in the text.
Sample Anser:
The professor disagrees with the textbook on its three major points in the background to the Civil War. She says that the text is outdated in that it highlights the role of the slave owners, economic interest of the South, and Lincoln’s attitude towards abolition.
The text emphasizes the political and economic power of slave owners in the South and insists that only slave owners were for slavery, while the professor says that most people in the South supported slavery. She also says that the growing power of the North was the real concern of the Southerners because the South was threatened to have less influence on the Federal government.
About the argument that slavery was the foundation of the Southern economy, that slavery was so deeply rooted in the Southern economy that Southerners did not want the system to change, the professor says that it is not the general view among historians now after a number of studies have shown that economic conflict was not the cause of the war. She also points out the fact that none of the efforts to avoid the war was related to economy.
She also makes it clear that Lincoln was not so eager for abolition initially as the author claims. She says that Lincoln believed in the unity of the States and therefore was sure to have avoided such a divisive issue as slavery and that actually he did not take a clear stand for abolition until political climate changed.
