There are many causes that led to the American Civil War. While slavery is generally cited as the main cause for the war, other political and cultural differences between the North and the South certainly contributed.

<span>One cause of the Civil War was that the Southern states thought that they should have the right to nullify laws they thought were unfair or unconstitutional. They believed in stronger state governments, with less power going to the national government. Also, another cause of the civil war was abolition, abolition in the U.S. goes all the way back to the 1600s. Individuals and groups protested the use of slave labor. One of the first direct protests was filed by a group of Quakers in 1688. Also, another cause of the Civil War was sectionalism, this was because the North and South had many differences and could not agree on many things, for example; they did not agree on whether to have slavery or not. This leading to the South allowing slavery and the North not allowing it. Another cause of the Civil War was the tariffs; tariffs hurt the southern economy, this is because almost 70% of the world’s cotton was produced in the south, and their economy depended on foreign trade.</span>
