There were many different causes of the Civil War and even more reasons as to why each soldier fought.
1. Election of Abraham Lincoln. We was a conservative republican who disagreed with slavery.
2. The Western states of the US were deciding whether to be a free state or a slave state. It pushed the issue of slavery into the public eyes.
3. The Southern states felt that their best interest was not being sought for by Lincoln.
4. The South felt that the North was being too aggressive in limiting their states rights.
5. Books such as Uncle Tom's Cabin were being written, reviling the horrors of slavery.
6. Significant men and women such as John Brown, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglas battled openly about the slave issue.
7. Slavery and States Rights were the two prime causes I can think of. In addition to that, many fought not to support these causes, but to find glory, escape their monotonous life, protect their country/family, seek adventure. You name it. Hope this helps.
