What was more responsible for the onset of war in the US the institution of slavery or the beliefs that states had the right to secede from the union?
It was the second one. The Confederates reasoned that the Union was a collection of states that had joined it voluntarily, and could secede equally voluntarily. People like to claim that the war was caused by slavery. But they should ask themselves why Lincoln felt it necessary to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. In mid-war, he had to turn it into a crusade against slavery, to shame the British and French out of helping the South. That is the surest sign that slavery was not the original cause of the war.
What did Southern states claim would make them secede from the Union?
Southern states claimed that their right to own slaves was being threatened by the federal government, particularly with the election of Abraham Lincoln as president. They believed secession was necessary to preserve their economic and social system based on slavery.
What were the arguments Southerners used to claim that they had the right to secede?
1. The federal government of the United States did not have the right to impose an anti-slavery law. Whether a state wanted to allow or disallow slavery should be decided by the state - not the federal government.2. The states had created the union by voluntarily agreeing to join and create the United States. The states could just as easily nullify their agreement.3. The imposition of tariffs on goods imported from England were aimed at protecting Northern manufacturers.
What statement is an example of evidence a historian could use to support a claim about the American civil war?
The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves only in states that had seceded from the union
What are reasons why the union won the American Civil War?
The North had huge advantages in troops and equipment. The generals threw both of these, in huge quantities, at the South. It was not uncommon for the North to lose 3-4 times as many soldiers in a battle as the South lost, but still be able to claim victory. The goal was to wear down the South by shear force of numbers. Nevertheless, some historians argue that, despite the overwhelming advantages enjoyed by the North, the outcome of the war hinged on one critical battle - Gettysburg. If the South had won that battle, they claim, they would have won the war. And that battle itself was a very near thing. General Robert E. Lee, perhaps the best military commander of all time, made an extremely rare mistake during that battle, a mistake called "Pickett's Charge". Historians agree that if that mistake had not been made, the South would have won Gettysburg, and, according to many, the entire war. So, in short, the ONE reason the union won the "War of Northern Agression" (as we southerners prefer to call it), is Pickett's Charge.

How can the confederates morally justify the Civil War given their reason?
They could always claim that they didn't want a war. They just wanted the right to secede. Any war would have to be declared by the Union - though in practice, Lincoln could not do this without appearing to recognise the Confederacy as a sovereign nation. That is why the Civil War had no official beginning, and no official end.
What was the most common reason in the civil war you would desert?
