The Fears Of The Non-Slave States And How They Led To The Prosecution Of The Civil War

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The fundamental reason that the non-slave states prosecuted the Civil War was that they were scared of the domination that the slave states exhibited both economically and especially politically. Said political dominance led to fear that the slave states would overwhelm the non-slave states politically, even to the degree of totally eliminating them. The dread of the economic hegemony led to a desire to destroy it before it destroyed the economies of the non-slave states. The non-slave states additionally had a trepidation of slavery expansion. The total impact of the above was that the non-slave states went to war.
