The Primary Causes of the Civil War

The study question about what the primary causes of the Civil War were intrigued me and I decided to write just a little on it and give my opinions. The prologue to the Civil War is full of all sorts of tumult. For example, the one that everyone knows about is the disagreement on Slavery. This disagreement created very high tensions between the North and the South and led to "Bloody Kansas" and other arguments and strife. Yet other disagreements were geographical. The South was largely farming and cotton while the North had a lot more industrial infrastructure. This means that the North and South wanted different things such as tariffs vs. Cheap imports and vice versa. All these differences in views created good reason for the South to secede from the Union however the North found it important to keep the South as part of the United States so war broke out and the bloodiest battle that America has ever fought followed killing about 620,000 men total.
