The Civil War Resulted in a Culmination of Economic Conflicts Between the North and South

This paper seeks to make clear the root of the American Civil War- economic problems. And in the meantime, dispel any notion that the War was a righteous fight for abolition. Before the war, the economies of Northern and Southern America were contrasting: the North had industrialized and no longer required laborious agricultural work, while the South’s cotton industry was booming, and so were the profits. Of course, this was only possible due to the efforts of enslaved people. This essay also outlines how leading up to the War, conflicts between the North and South all had an economic basis.
