Was the Civil War really about slavery? Or was it about taxes on private property?
I want to know your thoughts on the cause of the Civil War. Was it really about slavery or were taxes on private property also a factor?
While taxes on private property were an issue in the Civil War, the primary cause was indeed slavery. The issue of slavery had been a contentious one for decades leading up to the war and it eventually reached a breaking point. The southern states seceded from the Union in order to protect their right to own slaves.
