In your opinion, was the Civil War inevitable? Were the North and the South doomed from the beginning to battl?

i want to know your opinion my answer is The Civil War was essentially inevitable. Ever since Eli Whitney鈥檚 invention of the cotton gin in the 1790s, the South had been on a completely different economic and social path from the North. In the 1850s, social and political developments, including the publication of Uncle Tom鈥檚 Cabin, the Fugitive Slave Act, Bleeding Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, and John Brown鈥檚 raid on Harpers Ferry, drove the regions further apart. Although the North and the South tried to reconcile their differences with major political compromises in 1820 and in 1850, both attempts failed.



The cotton gin transformed the slave South completely in the early 1800s, when plantation owners abandoned almost all other crops in favor of the newly profitable cotton. To raise more cotton, planters also purchased more slaves from Africa and the West Indies before the slave trade was banned in 1808. Thousands of blacks were brought into the United States during these years to tend to cotton fields. The size of plantations increased from relatively small plots to huge farms with as many as several hundred slaves each. Because the entire Southern economy became dependent on cotton, it also became dependent on slavery. Although Northern factories certainly benefited indirectly from slavery, Northern social customs were not tied to slavery as Southern customs were.In your opinion, was the Civil War inevitable? Were the North and the South doomed from the beginning to battl?
