Document 3 · William Howard · House of Representatives, Ohio · 1856
"In this, the first election in the territory [of Kansas], a very large majority of the votes were cast by citizens of the State of Missouri . . . a systematic invasion, from an adjoining state, by which large numbers of illegal votes were cast . . . for the avowed purpose of extending slavery into the territory . . . was a crime of great magnitude. Its immediate effect was to further excite the people of the northern states, induce acts of retaliation, and exasperate the actual settlers against their neighbors in Missouri."
Working Thesis
"Slavery was the most important cause of the Civil War, as disputes over its expansion into new territories created political divisions that made compromise impossible by 1861."
What earns the HAPP point?
A HAPP earns the point when it names the source feature (historical situation, audience, purpose, or point of view) AND explains how that feature changes what the document means for the argument. Naming alone = no credit. Naming + explaining the effect on the argument = credit.
