Historians have continued to argue and debate what might have triggered this civil war in the American nation and the most likely cause seems to be slavery. The state especially in the southern region devised and emphasized laws that augmented disunity among its citizens whereby whites felt they had the mandate to oppress others. This exceeded the extent of natives claiming to have the unrestrained desire of acquiring slaves whom they could use for their domestic and heavy tasks besides mistreating them. In that ancient era, the constitution and the union did not advocate or cater to Blacks’ needs in America. For instance, they were required to have written permits from their employers if they desired to pass through certain areas only preserved for whites. If they did not adhere to these requirements, they suffered severe consequences like fines, being forced to work on roads, or even being imprisoned. This culture of slavery was more common in southern America where civilization was the key issue then advocated equaling that of N. America. Consequently, more laborers were required who turned out to be Blacks. Southerners preferred servitude because it was cheap in that they did not have to pay the enslaved thus ensuring increased productivity. This prompted these regions to be adamant in yielding to the demands of abolishing servitude to the extent of pushing even the Northerners to adopt the same mainly for economic purposes. However, Northerners disagreed completely about that issue and in turn sought its abolishment throughout America. The gap between the Northerners and Southerners’ territories slowly continued to widen due to these disagreements that remained unresolved. Initially, these disagreements about slave labor triggered civil war because the two territories failed to have adequate negotiable terms regarding the matter.
Abolition of servitude spearheaded by Abraham Lincoln's regime that aimed at advocating equality both socially and politically helped entire America in achieving its lifelong dream. America has continued to defy slavery politics for they feared its severe results where the entire state ended up siding with antislavery parties. All member states in America have recognized values of all individuals with equality regardless of their color, hence ensuring fair allocation of state resources. The federal government protects its citizens from any forms of slavery besides their hard-earned property. The civil war fought in America brought about many severe consequences that required special attention to rebuild the nation. However, this civil war helped to transform the southern states that still practiced slavery into a more modernized society. Although the government faced many tremendous challenges one being the dilemma of re-integrating the ally States into the Union. This issue examination encompasses a range of forms including reconstruction programs whose aim was to transform the Southern economy not to rely on servitude but come with appropriate tools. There were programs geared at incorporating freed slaves and other African Americans to make one state. Thus, reconstruction's main objective was to reunite the union back mutually and free the slaves finally.
