2. Using the directory of elected officials, identify a government official who could lobby for your cause. Why did you choose him or her? (3 points)

I would choose Kathy Castor, democrat representative from Florida's 14th congressional district in the U.S. House of representatives. She used to work in public administration law before being elected.

I would choose her because she chairs the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis, and my cause would be enviromental policies that help mitigate the effects of climate change in America.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
