The origins of the American Civil War lay in the complex issues of slavery, politics, disagreements over the scope of States' rights, Manifest Destiny, sectionalism, economic competition, modernization, and competing nationalisms of the Antebellum period. Although there is little disagreement among historians on the details of the events that led to war, there is disagreement on exactly what caused what and the relative importance. There is no consensus on whether the war could have been avoided, or if it should have been avoided.

The Great American Civil War.  It not only tore our country in two but we also had many political issues of the time (Civil Rights,  Internal Revenue Act of 1862, Legal Tender Act, Land Grant colleges and even the creation of the draft).  Also, it was as much as a home front war as it was abroad in a political sense.  England, France, Germany, and Ireland all contributed to the war efforts.  Either by sending troops, weapons, or ships- they all contributed.  \n\nGranted The revolution and the world wars shaped our country, but I feel the Civil War played the most important role.\n\nThe blacks could still be slaves, our country could be split in two which inevitably could create more wars here.  Our lives could be forever changed... France would of re-taken parts they lost in the Louisiana purchase. (After the civil war France was fought off from re-taking parts of Texas, they were in camped in Mexico)\n\nIt could be scary.  What about you?  What do you think was the most important thing in our nations history, that changed the course?

I can't believe that someone is asking this question.  Are you American?  Have you never heard of that horrible thing called the "Civil War"?  It's a shame people are so uninterested in American history, especially history that reshaped our country.\nGet a book and read it.\nWhile you are reading that book, you might want to look at a dictionary so you can find the correct spelling of the word "what".  I know, it's a tough one.

Abner Doubleday was involved with both baseball and the civil war. (He invented the game)\nI only into the answer serendipitously during a visit to Fort Sumter in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. There, an exhibit on the first skirmish of the Civil War points out that Abner Doubleday, as captain of the Union artillery, had personally sighted and given orders for firing the first responsive volley following the initial Confederate attack on the fort. Doubleday later commanded divisions at Antietam and Fredericksburg, became at least a minor hero at Gettysburg, and retired as a brevet major general. In fact, A. G. Mills, head of the commission, had served as part of an honor guard when Doubleday’s body lay in state in New York City, following his death in 1893.

Seriously? The Civil War was a war between North and South. It started in 1861 and lasted years. The reasons for the war range from slavery to states rights. It is a very important part of American history and you really need to study up on it.

It was well with in their rights to leave, the North kept making the South feel more isolated with the Missouri Comprimise.  It just came to the point that the States believed that they didn't have a choice.  \n\nWould I have voted for succession then no, but what I know about how strong the National Government became after the Civil War, a person has got to wonder what would have happened if the South would have won\n\nMost historians disaggree that slavery was the cause of the war.  Especially if you factor in that the underground railroad had to go all the way up to Canada (If the North really cared about slavery it would have ended at the Mason-Dixon Line) and the Draft riots in New York.\n\nThe Civil War never became about slavery until the Emansipation Prclamation.
