Paper Summary:

The writer asserts that the quick growth of such a large and diverse stretch of land led to conflict that built until two distinct sides rose to war. The paper brings proof of the growing disparity in the differing natural resources and resultant cultural orientations of a dispersed population. The paper concludes with the final lead-up to war, the insistence of the North to collect taxes from the South.

From the Paper:

"The South came to be an agriculturally focused area and the North became a force in manufacturing and shipping. These factors were salient in the development of two distinct cultures, one industrial (urban) and one agrarian (rural). These cultures had divergent views on life and government; both having a strong spirit of individualism and desire for self-determination."
