<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1262332, member: 5233&quot;]It depends on your point of view...in some ways they are right.&nbsp; The reason is not because of how the war itself began but because of why it began.&nbsp; Slavery is what everyone points to but it is deeper than that.&nbsp; The US...especially back then was a nation of two very different economies and ways of life.&nbsp; The North was very industrial and production based.&nbsp; The South was very much based in agriculture.&nbsp; With these different economies...came different ways of doing things.&nbsp; The North wanted the South to continue it&#039;s economic output but change a lot of how they did it (ex: abolish slavery).&nbsp; Ultimately, Southern states began to secede because of Northern pressure to change their ways of life.&nbsp; Once that had begun...war was inevitable.&nbsp; So, one could argue that the Civil War was rooted in Northern pressure (aggression) against the Southern economy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
