There are some obvious reasons why the Civil War happened. Those reasons are far too numerous to list in one article. But we’ll start by taking a look at some of the causes of the Civil War that are considered to be the most prominent.
One major cause of the Civil War was slavery. Slavery is one of the causes of the Civil War. Slavery was in effect in every single state in the union. Slavery was not only used to develop the slave trade, but it was also used to control the free-populations. It was widely and deliberately opposed by the people of the states that carried it out, and it led to the Civil War.
Another major causes of the Civil War was the increasing amount of power that certain sections of the Southern states were getting. The South was able to grow its economy faster than its counterpart, the North. The Northern states would find their supplies of food being cut off, and the North would find that it could not adequately defend itself from attacks from the South.
The political division between the North and the South led to them becoming enemies. While in the past this was considered acceptable, especially in times of war, it was unacceptable now because the nation did not want to become divided along racial lines.
Another factor that led to the Civil War was the question of slavery being legal or illegal. Many people in the south believed that it was legal and did not want to end it. Some people in the North believed that it was illegal and wanted to abolish it. People wanted to end slavery, so they did not believe that the North should end slavery.
At the root of the problem that led to the Civil War is religion. The Catholics were very divided in their beliefs, and many of them did not want to accept the truth of Jesus Christ as the son of God. This led to them not accepting the decisions made by the southern states.
While there were many reasons that led to the Civil War, the underlying reason was the fact that the northern states wanted to outlaw slavery. However, these same states, as well as other southern states wanted to ban slavery. Therefore, the Civil War was needing to sort out the dispute.
These are the main causes of the Civil War. The other causes are numerous, and most historians will agree that the decision to start the war was the catalyst. However, all history shows that the south was responsible for initiating the war, and they controlled their state governments.
