Question

What were the main differences between the North and the South? How did

they contribute to igniting the Civil War? What was the war primarily about?

Answer 1

The North wanted the new states to be “free states.” Most northerners thought that slavery was wrong and many northern states had outlawed slavery. The South, however, wanted the new states to be “slave states.” Cotton, rice, and tobacco were very hard on the southern soil. *put into own words*
