While slavery was the major issue separating the North and South, it was not slavery itself that sparked the conflict. The South wanted to secede from the Union, and the North refused. While President Abraham Lincoln personally opposed slavery, he recognized that it was legal under the U.S. Constitution at the time. He also recognized that few in the North were ready to go to war to free the slaves. For Lincoln and the northern majority, preservation of the Union was the foremost goal.
44.4 miles per hour. You just divide 300 and 6.75 (Think as the 3/4 as quarters each 1 is .25) then you will get 44.4. To check your answer you would multiply 44.4 and 6.75 and get 299.7. This is not 300 but when you round that .7 to the nearest 10 you will get 300. Hope this helped.<span />
