What is the text structure of the following paragraph? The chief and immediate cause of the Civil War was slavery. Southern states, including the 11 states that
formed the Confederacy, depended on slavery to support their economy. Southerners used slave labor to
produce crops, especially cotton. Although slavery was illegal in the Northern states, only a small proportion
of Northerners actively opposed it. The main debate between the North and the South on the eve of the war
was whether slavery should be permitted in the Western territories recently acquired during the Mexican War
(1846-1848), including New Mexico, part of California, and Utah. Opponents of slavery were concerned
about its expansion, in part because they did not want to compete against slave labor.
