The Civil War a moment in history in which we were divided; not just by North and South, but by the cause of the Civil War slavery. All battles in the Civil War were caused by slavery. The fact that people think the Civil War was not caused by slavery is unbelievable. Many arguments are whether the Civil War was fought over slavery or, as many southerns believe for states’ rights.
