The main causes of the Civil War were economic, political and social. Economic factors included a growing disparity between rich and poor, as well as the expansion of slavery into new territories. Political factors included the debate over states' rights versus federal power, and the disagreement over the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery. Social factors included the breakdown of traditional family structures, the rise of industrialization and urbanization, and the increasing influence of technology on society.
