Slavery, one side wanted it and the other didn't
Slavery was a fundamental cause of the Civil War, accentuated by the election of Abraham Lincoln as President and the differing views on states' rights. The secession of the Southern states and the establishment of the Confederacy led to the conflict, which began with the attack on Fort Sumter.
One significant issue that led to the outbreak of the Civil War was the deeply entrenched institution of slavery. The conflict over this practice contributed to the division between the North and the South. Northerners, especially abolitionists, wanted slavery to be abolished as they saw it as cruel and in violation of the principles of the Declaration of Independence. On the other hand, Southerners depended on slavery economically and culturally, viewing it as an essential part of their way of life.
The election of Abraham Lincoln as President in 1860, who had expressed the view that all individuals were entitled to natural rights, was a catalyst for the South's secession. South Carolina led the secession of the Southern states, which formed the Confederate States of America, ultimately clashing with the Union when they attacked Fort Sumter.
A secondary factor contributing to the Civil War was the dispute over states' rights, including the right to secede from the Union. This ideological debate fueled further division and was intertwined with the issues surrounding slavery.
Slavery was a major cause of the Civil War, creating a divide between the Northern and Southern states. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 intensified tensions, leading to the secession of Southern states and the start of the war in 1861. The conflict ultimately centered around the moral and economic implications of slavery in America.
