Answer:
There were many different causes of the Civil War and even more
reasons as to why each soldier fought.
1. Election of Abraham Lincoln. We was a conservative republican
who disagreed with slavery.
2. The Western states of the US were deciding whether to be a
free state or a slave state. It pushed the issue of slavery into
the public eyes.
3. The Southern states felt that their best interest was not
being sought for by Lincoln.
4. The South felt that the North was being too aggressive in
limiting their states rights.
5. Books such as Uncle Tom's Cabin were being written, reviling
the horrors of slavery.
6. Significant men and women such as John Brown, Harriet Tubman,
Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglas battled openly about the
slave issue.
7. Slavery and States Rights were the two prime causes I can
think of. In addition to that, many fought not to support these
causes, but to find glory, escape their monotonous life, protect
their country/family, seek adventure.
