The Civil War was fought mainly because of steady accumulation of protracted conflicts since the 1950s and 1960s and conditions that favor insurgency. These include poverty—which marks financially and bureaucratically weak states and also favors rebel recruitment—political instability, rough terrain, and large populations.

f. How does the Civil War relate to TKAM?

Both are similar in the factor of racial tension. So, the American Civil War was based a lot upon the disagreement over slavery. In "To Kill a Mockingbird" the case about Tom Robinson also has to do with the racial tensions that were going on in this time period

Reflections
After doing this assignment, I have learned more about the aspects of the Civil War. Which is related to "To Kill A Mocking Bird", whereby both are similar in the factor of racial tension. This assignment has deepen my understanding of racial tension which falls under the category of prejudice. We also managed to watch a base-understanding film of "Mississippi Burning" which greatly represents the "To Kill A Mocking Bird". This term concentrates on prejudice which is present in the current world.
