Racial Bigotry ended the Confederacy
Why did the American Civil War begin? Well, that's a loaded question, with a complicated answer. But, if we try to boil it all down to one word, the answer is obvious: slavery. Specifically the southern states relied economically on slavery, at least in part, but the North and most of the western world disagreed.
Now, this is quite obvious for anyone with a little knowledge in history, but on the back end of this chapter it was rasism again that actually doomed the south.
