Why did the Texans fight in the Civil War?
Texas was a slave state, and Texan slave owners wanted to keep it that way despite the efforts of Sam Houston to keep Texas in the Union. For Texans who did not own slaves, it was simply the patriotic thing to do, just as it was in the Southern states and the Northern states. Even if they had little or no sympathy for the cause, their state was at war, and many men fought for the honor of their particular state once it had chosen one side or the other.
What choices did the family of Emmett till and their supporters make in exposing the brutality of his murder how did these choice shape public reaction to the murder?

What were the important provisions of the compromise of 1850 and how did they affect the US prior to the Civil War?
Both sides had to make a major concession. The South agreed to admit California as free soil. (It was too big to fit the terms of the Missouri Compromise). The North agreed to employ official slave-catchers to hunt down runaways. This new law backfired badly, causing much sympathy for fugitive slaves.
