Abstract
This paper studies the causes of the American Civil War. While most historians maintain that slavery was the main cause of the war, this paper argues that slavery was only responsible to a certain extent and that there were complex political and economic factors which played an important role in the Civil War. The writer discusses the South's waning ability to maintain its army of slaves and asserts that the North's growing industrial power also fueled the conflict. Political factors, including the issue of equal representation in the Congress and states' autonomy, are considered as possible causes of the war in this paper.

From the Paper
"Civil war is the most momentous and crucial period in the history of America. Not only did this war bring an end to centuries of slavery in the country but also gave way to numerous social and political changes. The country had already been torn by the negative trend in race relations and numerous cases of slave uprisings were taking their toll on the country's political and social structure. While slavery is cited as the most common cause of the Civil War, it is believed that there were several other factors involved. In other words, though slavery was the major cause it was certainly not the only cause. Civil war and abolition of slavery have become synonymous terms as the former led to the latter. But still some historians maintain that slavery has been turned into a too convenient excuse in connection with the Civil War."

Abstract
This paper examines the causes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's murderous depravity. The paper discusses the defense attorney's insanity defense and details the biological causes, genetic disposition, mental disorders, sociological and economic causes.

From the Paper
"The Causes of Crime. Summing up the case for his client's insanity, serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's defense lawyer, Gerald Boyle, painted a chilling picture with his words. Skulls in a locker, cannibalism, sexual urges, drilling, making zombies, necrophilia, drinking alcohol all the time, trying to create a shrine, lobotomies de fleshing, calling taxidermists going to grave yards and masturbating. This is Jeffrey Dahmer; a runaway train on a track of madness."

Abstract
This paper addresses the causes behind the French Revolution of 1789, which is considered one of the most important events in the history of Europe. The paper notes that although it appeared to have failed by 1799, it nevertheless had far reaching results. The paper considers the causes, ideas and effects of the French Revolution on Europe, and how it brought an end to feudalism and the old order in France and other European countries.

From the Paper
"The French Revolution of 1789 was one of the most important events in the history of France and Europe. Although it appeared to have failed by 1799, it nevertheless had far reaching results. "The French revolution mounted the first effective challenge to monarchical absolutism of behalf of popular sovereignty" (Merriman, 469). The causes, ideas and effects of the French Revolution influenced the future of Europe, brought an end to feudalism and the old order in France, but also in other European countries as the Revolutionary spirit spread. The French revolution also suppressed privileges in favour of universal rights, an idea that caught..."

Abstract
This paper presents an in-depth discussion of the causes of the French Revolution. In particular, the paper considers the faltering economic situation of the period and the wide-spread poverty which drove the masses to rebel. The paper further examines the role played by the enlightenment in sparking revolutionary fervor. The paper concludes by noting that ultimately, there was no single cause of the revolution.

From the Paper
"The following paper looks at the causes of the French Revolution. In particular, the paper looks at the faltering economic situation of the period; at the wide-spread poverty which drove the masses to rebel; and at the role played by the enlightenment in sparking revolutionary fervour. Ultimately, there was no single cause of the revolution - but it is probable that things would not have ended up with such a dramatic destruction of the existing order had it not been for the suffering of the poor and indigent who finally had enough of inequality and privation. To start things off, one cannot dismiss the impact of economics in the..."

From the Paper
"Stroke is the second highest cause of death and disability around the world. With a rapidly aging population, stroke is one of the most significant medical and nursing issues. There are various types of strokes such as ischemic and hemorrhagic and the distinction must be accurately made for treatment.

Abstract
This paper presents the causes of the Black Death, and explains how it was able to spread so far and so quickly. The writer maintains that changes in population in part caused the Black Death because of trends in urbanization and emigration. The writer discusses that population changes also changed the standard of living, which then brought about a high number of social and cultural developments.

From the Paper
"Bridbury describes the Black Death as "an assault on the social system at its base which was infinitely deadlier than any which it had sustained at its apex". The plague not only caused high rates of mortality but also prevented many people from marrying or having children (Nightingale 34). All aspects of the Black Death have to be seen in terms of trends.

Abstract
This paper discusses the causes of divorce and explores why people are getting divorces when these people were once in love. The paper relates that while many people frown on divorce, the fact is that couples often are not committed to one another. The paper discusses three specific reasons for divorce that are infidelity, financial discord, and lack of communication.

From the Paper
"The rate of marriages in the United States is 7.5 per 1,000 with the divorce rate as 3.6 per 1,000 (Marriage and Divorce). Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. Looking back in the early history of marriage in the United States will show that most couples that got married stayed marriage regardless of the problems existing in the marriage. "Society frowned on divorce and divorced people were likely to find themselves social pariahs" (Common Causes and Reasons for Divorce). However, the statistics show that more and more marriages are ending in divorce. The question that many people think about when it comes to divorce is why..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the causes of the problem, the effects of the problem, and the solution to the problem. In the final analysis, the paper contends that America needs to take an aggressive stance vis-a-vis radical Islam and must continue to cut off funding to these organizations, must continue to kill top Al-Qaeda leaders, and must continue to punish organizations and regimes that harbour terrorists.

From the Paper
"Few events in American history have been as scarring and horrifying as the events of September 11, 2001, when a small group of terrorists drove three planes into the World Trade Center and into the Pentagon, killing nearly 3000 Americans. The real evil of the event was that the attack was chiefly waged against innocent civilians and the victims were chiefly civilians; furthermore, the incident remains the most destructive terrorist attack ever carried out on US soil. The following paper will discuss the causes of the problem, the effects of the problem, and the solution to the..."

Abstract
The following paper will argue that the causes of the Northwest Rebellion in 1885 can really be reduced to two things: the cultural insecurity and fearfulness of the Metis peoples of Alberta and Saskatchewan; and the sheer dilatoriness of the Canadian central government in meeting the needs of an embattled people. As time permits, the ensuing several pages will underscore how the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 was something that could easily have been prevented - or at least mitigated - if the government had been more tactful in dealing with the land claims of Manitoba Metis and, especially, if it had honored its obligations to the Metis under Treaty Number Six. Other things, such as high freight rates and the CPR's decision to have the national railway line re-routed far to the south and hundreds of miles away from Metis residing in the central and northern parts of Alberta only made the conditions even more conducive to a large-scale armed revolt against the center. As an addendum before moving on to the body of this essay, this writer will address at the out-set the evolution of the scholarly historiography on the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, most of all because it shows how, over time, certain historical explanations have become more enduring than others and therefore more reliable when analyzing why things went as they did.

Abstract
The paper notes that war often seems inevitable, though there is usually a point at which it could be avoided if the two antagonists involved were willing to make concessions to avoid further conflict. The paper relates that the Civil War is viewed more and more as a conflict that could have been avoided, and part of the discussion remains what caused the Civil War in the first place. The paper discusses how that has never been a clear issue, and different historians have suggested different causes.

The popular view that the war was fought over slavery has never been accepted by historians, who know that the economic differences between North and South had more to do with the start of the war and that Lincoln did not issue the Emancipation Proclamation until..."
