Answer:
Northern states were more against slavery while the south was more pro-slavery because they felt that they needed slaves to, manage farms and plantations growing indigo, rice and tobacco. The south was very dependent on plantations and slaves while the north was dependent on factories. Later in history the 13th amendment was passed, this was supposed to officially end slavery, to get around this people in the south created "Black Codes" or "Jim Crow Laws" which were made to limit African American freedom. Discrimination still occurred in northern states but was less harsh than it was in the south. This is partially due to the black minority in northern states. I really hope this helps...
Explanation:
Both nations did not want to fight directly because of the threat of a nuclear Holocaust, They were the most powerful nations that spread influence and dominance to surrounding countries and fighting them directly would have started another World war.
It was also the fact that Britain had a large pool of resources due to imperialism.
Explanation:
Great Britain’s success during the industrial revolution was mainly due to its tariffs and financial policies is one of the few facts that the government of Britain would have historically liked to believe but it does not really hold up any sort of scrutiny in the thought process.
There were other nations in as much of a position as Britain was but the fact of the matter was that British had the most colonies and thus most raw material that was used fully by these conducive laws for the industrial activity.
It started because Lincoln had won the 1860 election on a ticket of no new slave-states, so the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North at the expense of the South. So most of the slave-states broke away to form the Confederate States of America.
As for when it started, there was no actual declaration of war. The Confederacy could claim that it didn't want a war at all; it just wanted to defend its borders. Lincoln could not declare war on the Confederacy, because Congress did not recognise it as a sovereign nation.
The first shots were fired by the Confederates at the US Army garrison on the island of Fort Sumter in Charleston harbour on April 12th 1861, and Lincoln called for volunteer troops. The war was on.
