ABSTRACT:
A 5 page paper. The causes of the civil war were many and complex. Three overriding issues were at the heart of conflict between north and south: tariffs, power in the federal government, and the expansion of slavery. Slavery had been a part of the southern culture for 200 years; these states found it intolerable when laws prohibiting the expansion of slavery into western territories were adopted. The states had become a nation through a series of compromises and it was through more compromises that the union stayed intact until 1861. This essay explains how the westward movement acted as one cause of the Civil War. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
