It's all of the above :
the Civil War.
the increase in violence among US citizens.
the language and culture of free states.

The main cause of the civil war is the southern states' unwillingness to emancipate their slaves. So the president ordered the Union of the northern states to do it by force.
- the increase in violence among US citizens.
After ex-slaves were transformed into US citizens, many people still did not accept the fact that they have to treat the ex-slaves as equal. So violence conducted to the minorities occurred fairly often.
