The North and the South grew apart, because they had very different opinions on slavery and if they should have it or not. They also grew apart when the Civil war took place. Why? They had different perspectives on almost EVERYTHING!

How did west ward expansion affect the civil war?
I think a lot because the real debate during the Civil War was about the political importance of the west and who would decide its future. The south wanted the newly acquired land from Mexico to enter as slave states while the North wanted the land to be free states. This angered the South who depended on slave labor to grow cotton and other crops, The Compromise of 1850 which also angered the South made Carolina a free state and let other states choose whether they wanted to be free or slave states. The south saw they were loosing power and obviously did not like that.
How did the differences between north and south prior to American Civil War contributed to the war?
Well. There is an answer to this. But I don't know what it is. The South wanted Slavery, and the North did not. After the war with Mexico, there really was no where else for southern farmers to expand to, so fighting broke out.
Why did America fight in the Civil War?
Many say it was because of slavery, but the actual reason was because of the North and South having unreasonable disagreements over stupid things. For example: the North could process iron, while the South couldn't, and the North expected that the South were just low classes idiots. The South could grow all these crops that the North wasn't able to. The South had the right climates, while the North didn't, and the South just assumed the North were bunch of geeks who were only into technology. The main reason why this war happened was because that both sides couldn't take the fact that some things that one side did, the other just simply couldn't! Hope that helped!
Did the north or south have more farmland during civil war?
In 1860, there were actually more farms in the North than in the South. Northern farms were typically smaller and produced crops like wheat. But agriculture was still the backbone of the South's economy. In the South, farms were much larger -- many had more then 1,000 acres. (1 acre is about 1 football field) These huge plantations grow cash crops like tobacco, rice, and sugar. The most important crop of all was cotton. All the crops grown in the South relied on a large slave workforce. In addition the South had to pay taxes on many of the crops they exported. Many in the South felt they were taxed unfairly compared to the North.. and I agree with this fact...

Why did the south not have as much industrialization as the north?
The southern economy was based on agriculture and the plantation system. The north was forced to go to industry because they didn't have the fertile flat land to grow vast acres of crops. The southern states also had crops that they could grow easily and sell to Europe. Cotton, tobacco,rice, indigo all require hot weather that is found in the south.
