The Civil War deepened the divide between the Northern and Southern side. The Northern side was against slavery and wanted to eradicate this institution completely from the country. However, on the contrary, the Southerners wanted to safeguard the institution of slavery because of various economic reasons and it felt that this was an attempt by the North to levy taxes. They accepted the slavery culture as a part of their lives. In this discussion I would like to discuss the northerners’ perspectives on the Civil War. They wanted to fight for this eradication to make a place for America in the world. They wanted the Southerners to free themselves from the clutches of slavery and bondage[1].
