American Civil War
The Civil War that began in the spring of 1861 had its origins in the very founding of the nation. The differences between north and south grew during the 1800s until, by the late 1850s, it appeared that an “irrepressible conflict” was imminent. Political, economic, and social differences between the two regions of the country were evident from the late 1700s. In the south, adherents to the concept of states’ rights contended that the states served as a vital constitutional check on abuses of power by the federal government. They strongly supported the principles of the Tenth Amendment, designed to restrict national power and delegate powers not specifically held by the federal government to the states. Others, including many in the north, maintained that the national government should stand supreme over the states and that it possessed broad implied powers based on the “elastic clause” in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. (Coles, 2010) The North grew into a region with large cities, industries, and networks of canals and railroads. Its population also grew faster than the South’s. The South’s economy depended on large plantations. These grew cotton, tobacco, and rice. Enslaved people tended these crops. The institution of slavery, which had existed in all regions during the colonial period, gradually ended in the north, while in the south it remained a vital economic element. Together these factors divided the two regions and drove the nation towards disunion.
