c. Why was the civil war fought?
When Abraham Lincoln was elected as president in 1860. Southerners thought the government was becoming too powerful. They did not think the government had the right to tell them how they should live their lifes. Southerners felt if they stayed in the United States, the North would soon have control over them. The northern states were called the Union. President Lincoln said he would fight to keep the southern states as part of the United States. There were Union forts on Confederate land. The Confederates wanted Union soldiers to leave these forts. In Charleston, South Carolina there was a Union fort called Fort Sumter. The Union soldiers refused to leave this fort, so the Confederates fired cannons at the fort on April 12, l861. This marked the very beginning of the Civil War.

The issue that was left out of our Constitution, that could not be resolved by peaceful agreement, was settled by the Civil War instead. The North won, and the southern states were eventually reabsorbed into the Union.

f. How did the civil rights movement relate to the novel?
It all began because the Southerners feared that the Northerners would overpower them and this can related to the novel as it shows the relationship of the two parts of America whereby they were very cautious and wary about each party similarly in the novel whereby Whites and Blacks are socially different.
