Uncle Tom's Cabin By Harriet Beecher Stowe was definatley a cause of the Civil War. It stirred up some people and told the truth behind slavery.

The Drett Scott case was where Drett Scott had been to a free state, and thought that this meant he was free. The Supreme Court rued 7 to 2 that slaves are not Americans thus don't have the right to sue. John Brown was an Abolistionist who believed in voilence. He attacked towns and stole weapons that he was going to give to the slaves to shoot themselves free. He killed many innocent people in doing so. Before he could make his major raid, he was stopped. He was tried with treason and was in the gallows the next day. The Fugitive Slave Law Act The Fugitive Slave Law Act states that any runaway slave in the North may be taken down to the South. It also said that if and Northerners were to help the slaves, the Northerners would face fines, jail time, and possible execution if it continued.

SLAVERY .
Depends on which civil war - there have been many.
Please specify which Civil War, there are a lot to choose from....
Three major causes leading to the Civil War were: 1) Economic differences between the industrial North and agricultural South, particularly related to slavery; 2) States' rights versus federal authority, with Southern states advocating for more state autonomy; and 3) Political tensions over the expansion of slavery into new territories and states.
