A. that when most of the south left then called the them self the confederate of america then Abe said that they had to have a war so the first battle was for sumner

You hit some key points here. What kinds of things made the North and South angrier at each other before the war started?

the north did not want slaves because they had factories and did not need slaves but the south wanted slaves because they made their economy off of agriculture and the south didnt want to do work so the south wanted slaves to do the work and they sides desagreed and then they fought over it and the start began

The civil war was caused by the Union and Confederacy about Slavery they were trying to keep slave and free states equal. The southerners were afraid to vote for Abe Lincoln because they thought he would end slavery.

the civil war was caused when bleeding Kansas started and jhon brown took the two oldest sons out the house and left the rest of the family inside and killed the family inside also there were slaves that the south wanted to help pick the cotton and let it develop to then ship to north to be made in to fabrics but soon the north realized that slavery was unfair and blacks are people too so then eventually Lincoln was elected and the south was unhappy so they left the united states that made Lincoln angry so once the battle of fort sumtor came Lincoln was forced to go to war

There are many causes of the Civil War. One of them is when 11 states suceded and called themselves the Confederacy. The rest were the Union(24 states).This happened because of Abraham Lincoln elected to be president of the United States. Another thing is slavery. Slavery made the North angry. There was a women named Harriet Beecher Stowe who wrote a book about a slaves life. Her book inspired Northerners to be against slavery. Tarrifs also is a cause. They angered the South. Land was a problem too. They argued if it should be a slave state or a free state. The fighting all started because of a person called John Brown. Even though he is against slavery, he did it in an intense way. He used to take the brother and the father from a family and killed them. He left the mother and daughter at there home. He was the one who started Bleeding Kansas. The 10th Amendment (state's rights) too was a problem. It means every state can make its own law that does not go against the Constitution. And that's all the causes of the Civil War that I know.

And also the first battle of Fort Sumpter marked the beginning of the Civil War.

First, the main reason the war happened was because of slavery. Slavery, as we know was a big debate back then. The southern states wanted to keep slavery so that the slaves could work on their plantations so their owners could make a business. The northern states wanted it abolished, they thought that all people should be treated like any other person. Neither the north nor the south would give in to what the other believed was right, so that influenced the war a lot.

What caused the Civil War was the balance of slave states and free states. Mr.John Brown was also a big part of it , the south attacked the north and then John Brown attacked the southern towns and started a war.
