What caused the American Civil War?

[Anymouse]

hat kind of nonsense always escalates, enters into politics and then becomes war, without proper resolution. There could be no proper resolution. The idea of a part of the country separating from the union was as old as the union itself. It had to come to a head and it did.

And it also shows that when state governments, or their people, came to value an ideal over the nation's unity and its Constitution, they were willing to kill each other over it.

Amongst other justifications for the war, the Book of Philemon was used by both sides to justify the war.
