∙ 8y agoThere a number of reasons that the US Civil War lasted so long. Given the massive resources of the North, it would seem that the war should have been shorter. The Confederate armies were the primary reason for the North's long war with the South. The Confederate commanders were a bit better then their Northern counterparts. Also, the South needed to primarily fight a defensive war. This advantage, as small as it may seem, caused delays in the Union's offensive efforts to end the South's rebellion. There are other reasons, however, the ones mentioned are the primary ones.

How did the differences over slavery threaten the existence of the united states?
The north was opposed to slavery, and the south depended on slave labor. Therefore, the north and the south had opposing views on slavery. These views threatened to tear the U.S. apart, because some southern states threatened to secede from the Union, and the south was angry that many slaves escaped by running away to the north. Plus, the north ridiculed the south for ever allowing slavery, after northerners read the controversial novel, Uncle Tom's Cabin. It seems that neither side could think of a compromise. Eventually, this resulted in the Civil War.
