There were various points in American history that lead to the war; such as the Missouri Compromise; the Kansas-Nebraska Act; the political idea of nullification; the political idea of secession; John Brown; the election of Abraham Lincoln; secession; and slavery.

    For the majority of American History leading up to the Civil War, civilians had been divided over the issue of slavery and politics. The nation had a long history of compromise that seemed necessary to keep the nation unified. Most of these compromises avoided the issue of slavery, as politicians and “great compromisers” like Henry Clay aimed to prevent the inevitable split between the North and South. There was a turning point, however, in the North and South, when compromise was no longer an option. Although the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was the immediate and final trigger for southern secession, other attributes including the Kansas-Nebraska Act, Bleeding Kansas, and the Dred Scott decision of 1857 drove the South further towards…

    Robert Middlekauff, the author of Why Men Fought in the American Revolution, wrote about the differences and similarities between the American side and British side, as well as the story line. The author discusses the soldiers’ motivations to fight, the differences between the British and American soldiers, the differences between the British and American officers, and the strongest reason the men stayed to fight.
