Preferred term

civil war and realignment  

Definition

  • MOST OF THE leading framers of the Constitution knew that the compromise made over slavery at the Constitutional Convention would have dreadful consequences for the nation in the future. But the consensus among the framers was that the evil of disunion was greater than the evil of slavery, and they hoped eventually for a peaceful resolution to the slavery issue.
