US History to 1865: College Foundations - Crisis, Secession, and War | US History to 1865 | Study Hall

While we try to focus on how a series of decisions made by individuals creates history, the crucial moments are sometimes decisions about an individual, in this case, Dred Scott. In this episode, Dr. Danielle Bainbridge discusses how the debate over slavery escalated into a crisis both in Congress and in the midwest, evolved into political secession, and then finally, erupted into the American Civil War. __________________________________________________________________________ You're already learning about U.S. History — why not get credit for it?
