In response to the election of an anti-slavery Republican as President, 11 southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America ("the Confederacy"); the other 25 states supported the federal government ("the Union"). After four years of warfare, mostly within the Southern states, the Confederacy surrendered and slavery was outlawed everywhere in the nation. Issues that led to war were partially resolved in the Reconstruction Era that followed, though others remained unresolved.
The issue was states rights versus federal rights. The surface issue was slavery.
civil war
Copperheads, who were mostly Democrats. They just opposed the war, and not necessarily the issue of slavery.
Yes, the civil war was started on the issue of slavery.
It was a Northern State that was pro slavery and anti Confederacy. It did not view the civil war as a slave issue. It considered the civil war a states rights issue.
If the question is "Is the slavery a cause for the colonies declaring independence from Britain," then no. They wanted freedom from them. Slavery was a big issue in the Civil War, though.
Well America almost (before Civil war) had war. And it was cause for the south splitting from the union.
sharecropping did not cause the civil war but it happened after when they couldnt have slaves anymore
The American Civil War *facepalm*
The proximate cause was the election of Abraham Lincoln in November 1860; white Southerners feared, correctly, that Lincoln would work to end slavery in the US. Slavery was the principal cause of the US Civil War; states' rights were a secondary issue.
Forced loans didn't cause the Civil War, they had very little to do with it.
