At which point do you think civil war might have been averted?

Analyzing American history today tells us that the only way to avoid the Civil War (From 1861 to 1865) was if Slavery was made legal in all the Northern and Southern States which actually was not possible as Abraham Lincoln would have not agreed to it. In another words it could not have been averted which is a popular believe in many historians. 

the first 10 amendments to the u.s. constitution are known as the bill of rights. those 10 amendments establish the most basic freedoms for americans including the rights to worship how they want, speak how they want, and assembly and peaceably protest their government how they want. the amendments have also been subject to much interpretation since their adoption, particularly the right to carry a gun under the second amendment.

"a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference," said thomas jefferson, the author of the declaration of independence and the third president of the united states.
