Evaluate the causes and consequences of the civil war

A very important cause of the cause of the American Civil War was the election of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln wanted to abolish slavery and the Southerners did not want to be ruled by an anti-slavery Northerner. ... The amount of deaths/casualties in the American Civil War is also a very important effect.

There are many causes that led to the American Civil War. While slavery is generally cited as the main cause for the war, other political and cultural differences between the North and the South certainly contributed.
