Question

In 3+ sentences, explain why do you think the U.S.A. had to fight a war to end slavery while most other countries ended slavery by just passing laws?

Answer 1

The war was fought because America was built upon slavery. During the Industrial Age, the northern economy no longer needed slavery. The south however was wasn’t ready nor was trying as hard to give up its dependency on slavery. The south economy would plummet and life for southerners would drastically make a down spiral if they couldn’t have access to expensive but efficient workers you never had to pay for.
