(for Illini) Video on events triggering the US Civil War

I like this guy's videos:

He talks about the US expanding west. When the US acquired a new territory, there was significant debate over whether that area should allow slavery. Hence, the debate over States' Rights with slavery as the hot-button topic.

Follow-up video. Points out the Election of 1860. The election results pointed out the dis-connect, where Lincoln was effectively supported only by the north.
