Roots of the Civil War

I believe that the Civil War began with the debate over the future of slavery. That very issue guide to secession, and secession caused a war where the Northern states fought for the ground of the Union, and the southeastern for their independence as a new confederation of states under its own constitution.It seems to me that any dissonance leads to some form of resentment. We tend to not like what we dont visualise, and it was hard for the North to understand why the Southern states were itching for freedom from them. It seems from a broader point of view that the North has gone through so much just for the Southern states of America to exist. It only makes sense that Northern leaders would touch angry and betrayed by hearing that those states that they father worked so hard to establish now want their own sense of independence.At the same time however, the South had more of a need for slaves than the north did. The agricultural part of the South employed slaves to tend the la rge plantations and perform other duties. Slavery was a essential part of the Southern economy even though very few of the population actually owned slaves. Slaves could be rented or traded or sold to turn over debts, making them very useful to ranchers. The North didnt seem to have much use for slaves due to their poor soil therefor they could not understand why the South was against abolishing slavery.I dont believe that this war could be avoided due to the issue of slavery. If America didnt stand against slavery, then the slaves themselves would have eventually done so. As said before, we dont like what we dont understand. Fighting with each other as opposed to competitiveness with who we then knew as them had more hope for success and peace in the end.
