I was fortunate to have a history teacher who wrote extensively on the Civil War and what led up to it and I became interested in the subject. I think back to the (alleged) showdown between Andrew Jackson and John Calhoun which I'm not sure had much to do with slavery and more with the direction the country was going in terms of federalism vs states rights.
Jackson: Our federal union, it must be preserved.
Calhoun: Our union, next to our liberty, the most dear.
Still has echoes today.
