What were 3 main cause of the civil war?

Answer 1

The North and South were based on different economies. The North was mainly a industrial-based economy and the South was a slave-based agrarian economy. Second, the South feared that the North would outvote the South in the Congress and conceivably force the abolition of slavery onto the south, as well as taxes and tarrifs which favored the North. Third, the South contended that they were a part of the Union by their own consent and that they were able to withdraw that consent whenever it suited them, thereby avoiding being outvoted by the North. Yet in the end, the whole thing boiled down to slavery.
