The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also
known by other names) was a civil war in the United States. It
was fought between the Union[f] ("the North") and the
Confederacy ("the South"), the latter formed by states that had
seceded. The central cause of the war was the dispute over
whether slavery would be permitted to expand into the western
territories, leading to more slave states, or be prevented from
doing so, which was widely believed would place slavery on a
course of ultimate extinction
Prior to the war, the North and the South had been divided
for decades over the issue of slavery. Measures such as
the Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1850
had failed to settle the issue.
The Southern economy was based largely on plantation
agriculture, and African American slaves did most of the
work on the plantations. The Northern economy, on the
other hand, relied more on manufacturing. By the 1850s
abolitionism was growing in the North, causing the
Southern states to fear that the federal government would
attempt to end slavery.
The Southern states believed that the U.S. government did
not have the right to decide whether slavery should be
allowed in a state.

What led to the outbreak of the bloodiest
conflict in the history of North America?
A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of
slavery.
In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was
central to the conflict.
A key issue was states' rights.
The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so
they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering
with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished.

 Another factor was territorial expansion.
The South wished to take slavery into the western territories, while the
North was committed to keeping them open to white labor alone.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Republican party, whose members were
strongly opposed to the westward expansion of slavery into new states,
was gaining prominence.
The election of a Republican, Abraham Lincoln, as President in 1860
sealed the deal. His victory, without a single Southern electoral vote,
was a clear signal to the Southern states that they had lost all influence.
Feeling excluded from the political system, they turned to the only
alternative they believed was left to them: secession, a political decision
that led directly to war.
