In many ways,, the split between the North and the South was a lot like a marriage falling apart.. Both sides had a lot in common but we're growing apart for years.. Perhaps, if the Union and Confederacy had been able to enter marriage counselling, a long,, bloody Civil War could have been avoided.. Fill in each box according to Dr. Phil's instructions.

Now, if this marriage between North and South is going to work, you need to talk to each other about why you are angry. So, 1) North tell the South why you are angry. Be specific. For instance, say, “It hurt me when…” ….. Now 2) South, please tell North why you are angry.

Once each of you has said why you are
angry, In spaces 3 & 4) tell the other side what they can do to help fix your problem. What would keep you two together?
