Why the Civil War Was Unavoidable

American Civil War

The American Civil War was fought with such ferocity that it cost more lives than all of America's other wars combined. The ferocity of the arguments about its causes reflects the complexity of the forces at work in American pre-war society, which brought on the war after a decade of political crises.

While the slave owners represented in the southern states the view that slavery was the foundation of prosperity, economic growth and peace, and legitimized by the right to possession, held the Yankees to believe that slavery was incompatible with the founding ideals of the republic (Foster & Gaines, Pp.98).

This development was marked but for the most part from the northern states in the U.S., while the south for a long time was dependent on the export of its agricultural goods (Kelly & Patrick, Pp.69-75).

Most historians agree that there are many causes of the civil war of America and focus on the difference levels between the North and South in terms of differences in the economic situation in the concepts of intellectual and lifestyles, and point to the dispute between the Federal Government and States on the authorities of those States, and remember blundering politicians and the loss of order in political life during the fifties of the century nineteenth However, all the explanations refer to the issue of slavery or spin around.
