Civil War There is an ongoing debate between historians as to whether or not slavery has been overemphasized as the cause of the Civil War. However, upon further research, one may find that slavery was the underlying foundation on which the Civil War was based. The origins of the slavery issue date back to the beginning of this “democratic experiment” called the United States of America. The deep economic, social, and political differences between the North and South were prompted and intensified by the issue of slavery. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, substantial economic differences had developed between the North and the South. The North had a predominantly industrial economy, based on factories and other industrialized businesses. For this reason, many of the new immigrants settled in the North, while very few settled in the South. This influx of population, along with technological advantages caused by industry, helped to shift the balance of power in favor of the North.
