Causes of the Civil War

            WHAT WERE THE CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR?.
             The Civil War is a significant and controversial period in history. It didn't only relay on slavery. Issues like the difference between plantations and cities were some of the causes. Although slavery was meaningful, railroads in the North had a great impact. Beliefs in the South and the north varied greatly. Some Europeans countries also had a lot of influence in the South. The Civil War was mainly caused by a moral conflict.
             The South wasn't pleased with the North's point of view. They were completely unlike. This dissimilarity was mainly based on the life style. The life in the city was enormously different from the plantations" life. Most southerners had to live and work in plantations. Their life was in some ways traditional. They would wake up early and go to work at the fields with slaves. The North's life was distinct and slightly easier. They could perform numerous jobs. Their economy was largely based on industries.
             The South was a place where slavery affected all aspects of life. In the North, nothing had more influence than the railroads. The South was in disadvantage because of the ability to move that the North had. In the North, the need for slaves was not as much as in the South. Their life was based on the railroads movement. Therefore, they were available to execute various activities. They didn't understand the way the South lived because they had more opportunities to develop more and diverse employments.
             In the other hand, the South disliked the North because they didn't identify with their life style. For the South, it was hard to live without slaves or plantations. That was everything for the southerners. It was so important for their economy. They didn't have industries. They had to work on cultivated areas side by side with slaves. They had to raise their kids teaching them that farming was all they could do for a living.
             The North was more skilled in lots of occupations.
