3. The North had an influx of Immigrants Arriving to take the many open Jobs in Industry--so the society became more homogeneous. Since the South had Slaves, there were very few opportunities for Immigrants there, so the Southern Culture remained more ingrown.

4. Many of The Northeners did have Anti-Slavery Views--but VERY few were radical abolotionists like William Lloyd Garrison. Remember, the Republican Party was formed NOT to end Slavery--but TO PREVENT ANY FUTURE EXPANSION. Unfortunately, many of The Southeners viewed ALL Notheners as "Dirty Abolotionists". (spelling?)

5. The North welcomed expansion into the West--they were running out of good farmland and needed more. The South was a little wary of expansion--they feared that the new states in the Midwest would not be Slave States.

Okay. One more root cause of The Civil War.


6. The North liked Tarrifs because they made it harder for the Europeans to compete with them--the South disliked Tarrifs because they made the cost of their raw materials rise.

7. The North relied FAR MORE on Railway Transportation--I believe by 1861, there were THREE TIMES as many rail laid in the North than in the South.

No sure if this was the Crown's intent, but James Oglethorpe wanted it to be a Utopia and a place for debtors to find freedom.

to add to civil war causes, last year (us history is a two year course in my school) that was the essay on the final - the question was was war inevitable. anyway, this might have been encompassed in what you said M_E but most people said that is was because of the different climates and geographical regions that separated the north and the south so much socially and economically, leading to political separation as well...and then all the details that you were talking about.

question: for the conclusion, my teacher always tells us never to just summerize your essay in the conclusion but to try to add a little twist or extra point and the princeton review book says something a little different. what have your teachers told you about writing the conclusion? i know it's the least important part of the essay but just wondering.

As for conclusions, that's pretty much what my teacher has said. He has been working more on our thesis statements. I hate writing intros!!

Close. The Kansas and Nebraska Act--passed in 1854--proved to be a HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL Act.

Many politicans' careers were ruined by their stance on it.

Since he was serving as Ambassador to the U.K. when the Act was passed--he took no stance on it--therefore he was "safe".

The Volstead Act was passed by Congress simply to enforce this Amendment.
