¨A house divided against itself cannot stand.” These are the words of Abraham Lincoln. He believed that slavery was not right, and this was the reason our country went to the Civil War. There were many causes of the Civil War. The primary cause was slavery. Some events with conflicts were the Compromise of 1850, Fugitive state law, Uncle Tomś cabin, and the Election of 1860. All of these events were linked with slavery. One cause of the Civil War was the Compromise of 1850. In this event California wanted to be admitted as a free state. There were many disagreements whether each state should be free or slave. In the text it states, ¨I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.” This
shows how Abraham Lincoln felt about slavery. After the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive State law was made. In this law, anyone who resembled or had the qualities of runaway slave was captured. This was not right because many people who were not slaves were captured too. Another cause of the Civil War was Uncle Tomś Cabin.
