The primary cause of the Civil War was the disagreement over whether or not to allow slavery in the United States. Slavery had been a part of American life since the early 1600s, and many Southerners felt that it was an important part of their culture and economy. However, Northerners believed that allowing slavery would lead to racial inequality and economic exploitation. This disagreement led to the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.
