Causes for the civil

There were a lot of causes for the civil war one is a Abraham Lincoln being elected for president he wanted slaves to be free. In addition the south wanted more of a democracy and wanted to be free from the union. While the north wanted to be more of one united country. Another big cause of the civil war is Economic and social differences between the north and the south. In addition the south didn’t want to pay taxes to the north this is because none of the money was going to the south to help with what needed to be fixed. Also the north was buying the raw cotton and turning it into fixed goods the south was not a big fan of this due to the fact that they don’t get a profit of the finished goods. Also there was a big growth in the Abolition movement that held some very violent protests in the south. These are just some of the reasons that the south attacked the north in the Civil war.
