i think its a great way to learn about history,its much better then using the books. In the Mission: US video game, there are 12 possible outcomes among three different characters you must chose to go with at the end of the game after you have given your deposition about witnessing the Boston Massacre. Describe your outcome. > 5.4 > 1. > No they shouldn’t have done that,It is unfair to the people why should someone obey something that they do not like.The act of throwing the teas in the water its an act of power > > ==‍ **How did the Election of 1860 contribute to the onset of the Civil War?** == > The election of Abraham lincoln. > > The Election of 1860 > The Candidates, Parties, and Platforms > > __ The Democratic Party Splits __The issue of slavery in the western territories had ended the Whig Party and given rise to the free-soil Republican Party, but it also created a bitter internal division within the Democratic Party. > > On April 23, 1860, the Democratic National Convention convened in Charleston, South Carolina.

They feared that the new free-state majorities in Congress would then ratify a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery in the entire country.
