Slavery in the United States

The problem of slaveholding in the territories created tensions that contributed to the looseness of the Union in 1860-61. The main explanation for the origins of the American Civil War is slain truth, especially when it came to Southern anger. The Southern anger was base on the normalityern attempts to revoke further slave expansion, which lead to numerous acts, and essentially caused the war against Mexico. The United States was a nation carve up into two different regions separated by the Mason-Dixon Line.New England, the Northeast and the Midwest had a rapidly-growing providence establish on family farms, industry, mining, commerce and transportation, with a large and rapidly growing urban population and no slavery north of the border-states. Its growth was fed by a high birth rate and large song of European immigrants, especially Irish, British and German. The South was dominated by a settled plantation frame based on slavery. There was some rapid growth taking place in the Southwest, (i. e. Texas), based on high birth rates and high migration from the Southeast, but it had a much lower in-migration rate from Europe. The South also had fewer large cities, and little manufacturing except in border areas (which were very influenced by the Northern region). Slave owners controlled politics and economics, though two-thirds of Southern whites owned no slaves and usually were engage in subsistence agriculture The economic and social differences between the North and the South were two main factors that caused tensions that contributed to the breakup of the Union.As stated earlier the South was dominated by a settled plantation organization based on slavery. Unlike the North in which slavery was frown upon. The North? s economy was based in small farms, and industrial labor in the urban populated cities. As for the North that socially was shaped by European immigration, the South was very much isolated.The North was progressing as labor united various k inds of cultures achieving a society that sustain in each other, unlike the South who totally depended on the Slaves, even though most farms did not contain slaves the Southern society was moved by the richest plantation owners (which did solely depend on slavery). Some other factors that lead to tension leading to the withdrawal of the Union are States versus federal rights, the fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents, Growth of the Abolition Movement, and in conclusion the election of Abraham Lincoln.
