The Civil War: An Inevitable Conflict

Paper Summary:

The American Civil War was not caused by one single event or action, but rather a plethora of events that triggered one another, eventually triggering the first shot of the war. From the settlement of America and the formation of the Union to the secession of the Southern states, the North and the South were divided on many issues. This essay talks about the culture and society in the North and South in the antebellum era. Specifically, it discusses the religion, education, and transportation in the two regions, which led to political and economic disputes.

From the Paper:

"In New England, immigrants traveled to the colonies as families and lived by the traditional patriarchal family structure. Women still married young and produced many children. The life span of New Englanders was also longer compared to southerners and consequently young women had less freedom of choosing husbands. Since most New Englanders were very religious, they placed a strong value on morals. Far less women experienced pre-marital pregnancies in New England than in the Chesapeake. Children also received stricter parental supervision since both of their parents were usually alive".
