The root cause of the American Civil War is perhaps the most controversial topic in American history. Even before the war was over, scholars in the North and South began to analyze and interpret the reasons behind the bloodshed.
The scholars immediately disagreed over the causes of the war and disagreement persists today. Many maintain that the primary cause of the war was the Southern states’ desire to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and point to other factors, such as taxation or the principle of States' Rights.
In 2011, at the outset of the sesquicentennial, a Pew Research Center poll found that Americans were significantly divided on the issue, with 48% saying the war was "mainly about states' rights," 38% saying the war was "mainly about slavery," with the remainder answering "both equally" or "neither/don't know."

or fought based on technology, since both sides had the same kind of
weapons and resources, although a person could travel in time and give
them pistols and modern machine guns, the conflict of the North against
the South, the struggle for the abolition of slavery and
the political struggle would not have been solved, and on the contrary,
it had become more bloody and more deaths would have occurred, albeit in
a shorter time, since battles would gain faster. </span><span>The South would
have had more chances to win, even with its diminished troops, by using
only modern weapons, they would have decimated the northern armies.</span>
