The Events That Led to the Liberation of African Americans from Slavery

Angela's feedback:

"You provide a thorough overview of the conflict between the North and the South over the issue of slavery in the years leading up to the American Civil War. But even though your essay reflects your understanding of this point in history, your citations need some work. Remember that citations should be included at the end of any statement that includes information from outside sources; citations should not be placed at the end of a paragraph in order to cover all the material in that paragraph. Other errors include inconsistent capitalization practices. Within the context of the Civil War, terms such as "North" and "South" should always be capitalized. Meanwhile, "civil war" should only be capitalized if it refers specifically to the American Civil War, not civil wars in general. Your use of semicolons should be revisited. When talking about a historical figure, the person should be introduced by full name: "John C. Fremont" not "John C.""
