Why Did The North Cause The Civil War?

1861 the civil war shot into action at fort sumter of the shores of virginia, the conflict had been building for years and now it has finally began. Why was this pressure there you may ask? It was based of of the topic of slavery and how the north had little use for slavery well the south's whole economy was built off of it without it they would be nothing.

There had been many activists against slavery but one book known as “Uncle
Tom's Cabin” really lite up the eyes of the north and showed how bad they were being treated. Southerners knew how poorly they were treated but didn't do anything about it because their whole income was based off slavery and cash crops. The South had agriculture and slavery but only cash crops and no real food or vegetables. Well the North was going through the industrial industry and producing guns and plenty of crops and food as well. To top it off the south sold their crops to the north for them to produce more clothes and make more money.
They knew they had a cause and the north wanted to keep the country together. The war was long and gruesome brother fighting brother in battle. This war goes down in history as one of the bloodiest wars in history in just 4 years. Abraham Lincoln felt strongly about keeping the country together and after the war developed a plan to do so this was his “10 percent plan”. Which would have worked to reconstruct the destroyed south after the war and reconcile harsh feelings between us as a nation and become one again. If only on April 14th 1865 he wasn't shot in the back of the head by the now infamous John Winx Booth who believed the south should be its own
