The American Civil War was primarily caused by deep-seated tensions over slavery, states' rights, and economic differences between the North and South. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, viewed by Southern states as a threat to slavery, prompted several Southern states to secede from the Union. The conflict escalated with the attack on Fort Sumter in April 1861, marking the beginning of armed hostilities. Ultimately, issues of federal authority and the preservation of the Union, alongside the moral imperative to abolish slavery, shaped the war's outcome.
