  1. What lead to Americans killing Americans in the bloodiest American war ever? Could it ever happen again?

  2. A civil war is a military conflict what arises from a desire for usually radical change in society as a result of either cultural, social, religious, political or economic disputes due to diametrically opposed and uncompromising ideas about the leadership, administration and management of the population and territory it occupies, and which is resolved through use of weapons. What is a Civil War?

  3. The opponents are usually representatives of the same culture, society or nationality, and contest the right for the control of political power, and with it the right to formulate policy for future administration of the population and resources of the territory where the dispute takes place.

  4. What was the Real Cause of the Civil War?

  5. Some people argue over the cause of the Civil War. • As a whole, most people think it was fought over the issue of slavery alone. • There were many issues that led up to the war, however. • This presentation will attempt to address each of those issues and draw a conclusion as to what the major reason was.
