In 1861, Americans became engaged in a bloody civil war in which
more than 600,000 Americans lost their lives. The conflict began
after several states withdrew from the Union. Causes of the Civil
War: The Differences Between the North and South examines the
sectional rivalries that surfaced in the early 19th century and
intensified in the decades leading up to the war. Two distinct
American societies had developed: one industrialized, urban, and
relying upon free labor, and the other rural, agrarian, and built
upon slave labor. As the United States expanded its territory
westward, the differences in the two sections fueled the debate
over slavery and its use. In the 1840s and 1850s, tensions
escalated, resulting in the secession of the Southern states and
the declaration of war between the Union and the Confederates.
