Roots of the Civil War

I believe that the Civil War began with the repugn over the future of slavery. That very issue led to secession, and secession caused a war where the Northern states fought for the ground of the Union, and the southeast for their independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution.It seems to me that any disagreement leads to many form of resentment. We tend to not like what we dresst understand, and it was awkward for the North to understand why the Southern states were itching for freedom from them. It seems from a broader point of view that the North has gone through so lots just for the Southern states of America to exist. It only makes sense that Northern leaders would feel angry and betrayed by hearing that those states that they have worked so awkward to establish now want their own sense of independence.At the very(prenominal) time however, the South had more of a need for slaves than the north did. The hoidenish part of the South employed slaves to tend the large plantations and perform different duties. Slavery was a natural part of the Southern economy even though very few of the population actually owned slaves. Slaves could be rented or traded or sold to pay debts, making them very multipurpose to ranchers. The North didnt seem to have much use for slaves over payable to their poor soil therefor they could not understand why the South was against abolishing slavery.I dont believe that this war could be avoided due to the issue of slavery. If America didnt stand against slavery, then the slaves themselves would have last done so. As said before, we dont like what we dont understand. Fighting with each other as opposed to fight with who we then knew as them had more hope for success and peace in the end.
