I think when Lincoln was elected president because the South didn't like his anti-slavery platform and that played a major role in starting the Civil War.

I think his presidency was main cause because it was the last straw for southerners and they threatened to secede if he was elected.

Lincolns election alone would have caused the cival war because he wanted to abolish salvey and wanted all African Americans to have equal rights and citizenship in the U.S. While it is true that it was not the only event that intensified the conflict on slavery, it is in my opinion the reason why the south broke away from the U.S. and declared war upon the north.

Although there were many events that led to the Civil War. I believe the "Fugitive Slave Act of 1850" had a major impact. Southerners were highly content with this act. Northerners on the other hand did not want to partake in the slave system. A system in which they strongly disagreed on.

I think Bloody Kansas was a major cause for the civil war as many people died which is usually what brings around change.

I think that it was when Abraham Lincoln became president, since he "freed" the slaves and many people  benefit from them.

The Event That Caused The Civil War (A.I)

The number one event (antebellum era) that caused the civil war was the 1855 Bleeding Kansas incident. I chose this is because this was the first recorded fight leading towards the civil war. The 200 casualties suffered convinced many southerners and fearful northerners that war is inevitable; the incident fueled the battling between the opposing cardinal directions, events are snowballing to worse and worse tragedies as the year progresses.

I think Bloody Kansas started the war because it was the first even where actual blood and violence between the north and south happened which would be the worse it can get - N.Z
