There were many events that led up to the Civil War. One of these events was called the “Bleeding Kansas” violence of 1856. This was a clash between proslavery groups and the Free-Soilers. This displayed the severe discord between people in the North and in the South, who both had different beliefs about slavery. However, this was not the end of the events that would change history. In 1857, the Dred Scott decision caused some dissension. Northerners were mad because the Missouri Compromise was deemed unconstitutional. This decision also allowed the North to have slaves. Finally, John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry, Virginia in 1859 was a turning point. His death was regarded as justice for the South, while the North mourned his loss. This lack of agreement made everyone feel that the issue of slavery could not be resolved. When the South seceded from the Union in 1861, the Civil War was in full swing.
I do think that the Civil War was inevitable. The issue of slavery was too heated. The South was strongly in favor of it, while the majority of the North did not want it. There would have never been any resolution if the war had not been fought.
