Abraham Lincoln winning the President contributed most to the Civil War. After he won the election, southerners were scared that Lincoln would try to get rid of slavery and change their traditions. Once Abe Lincoln was elected, states started to secede (like South Carolina) from the Union just a couple months later. This secession ultimately lead to the confrontation at Fort Sumter, leading to the start of the Civil War.

The classic example of this divide is how, traditionally, history curriculums approach the Civil War.
While this is less the case today, 25-50 years ago, if you grew up in the South, you would have learned about the "War of Northern Aggression"
If you grew up in the North, you would have learned about the American Civil War and the South's history of slavery and the war to end the slavery.
"Traditional" History is often written by those that were victorious, so it is remarkable to see how in the modern era voices are being heard that would not have been traditionally heard.
A global society means that history is more nuanced with more perspectives present at the table of history.
But there is still a long way to go. Californians will spend lots of time learning about Sutters Fort while Pennsylvanians will learn about Fort Duquesne.
