Civil War

The road to Civil War appeared right as the nation was established, and time obviously only built up passion and tension until both factions exploded in battle. All the major aspects of a developing country played into this build up such as economy, politics, and basic social standings, and many issues played into all these. One such issue and possibly the central, was slavery. Economically it allowed the south to thrive as the north lagged behind and focused upon other subjects. This was one of the first instances that began to highlight the two side’s differences and tension rose. The economic issues raised from slavery played very largely into the political. The north focused on education building up for future prosperity while the south was at the mercy of the slave trade. As a result of this when the idea of abolition, largely accepted in the north was proposed, the south was outraged as it was the very base of their economic house of cards. Both sections fought unwaveringly for their political beliefs and truly began to tear the union apart. The differences they held in the slavery issue affected them highly socially and could not be trusted to be around one another. They started to be constantly at each others throats for no seemingly valid reason. Further more as the south relied on slavery the ignored education unlike the north, additionally dividing the two. The fact than one issue could tear apart the delicate fabric of the nation in so many aspects exudes how civil was inevitable and necessary.
