Why+the+Civil+War

I think all the different theories of why the Civil War started can be traced back to the big idea of Sectionalism. The cultural, polictical, and geographical differences of the two regions set them apart in ways that would be very hard to ever completely bring the two together. Even as America was born there was always a diffence between not only the two regions but each individual state as well. Throughout the countries short history, the North and South were basically held together with super glue their only similarity being they or their ancestors colonized North America close to one another. On almost every issue they were polar opposites they could never agree on anything be it tariffs, slavery, iternal improvements, or immigration. The natural history of division between the North and South and the growing Sectionalism in America caused the Civil War.
