Back in 1861, there was over 618,000 casualties due to the conflict the north and south had. The south even went into war against the north in order to keep their slaves, the north apposing wanting to free all slaves. More causes of the civil war included; state versus federal rights and the growth of the abolition movement. The civil war lasted 4 years, from 1861 to 1865.
The first conflict was the pro slave vs non-slave states issue. Summarized In a couple of words this whole issue was that all the northern states wanted to free the slaves (that were under the control of the southern states) and all the southern states wanted to keep their slaves.

As the two sides became more and more different and there goals became a lot more distant from each other, arguments over national policy grew even vicious. The north and the south were known as the confederate and the union to be distinguished more though roughly from each other. “If men were equal in America, all these Poles and English and Czechs and blacks, then they were equal everywhere, and there was really no such thing as foreigner; there were only free men and slaves.”, said Michael
