I had a disagreement with my friend at lunch. He asked me to give him my food but i refused because even if are friends he could had ask me nicely, but instead he forced me to give him my own foods. We started to talk roughly so our other friends were trying to cut us off, but then the whole thing continued to go horribly wrong after the teacher came and we all ended up being in the principle's office.
Causes of the Civil War
Political causes: Conflict also arose over states' rights (right of a state to limit federal power). Most Southern states believed in state sovereignty (state power) and they thought that state had the power to cancel a federal law it consider unconstitutional. In the 1820s -1830s, the idea of a state declaring a federal law illegal and canceling it (nullification) put the concept of states’ rights to the test.
Social causes: Southerner saw themselves as "gentlemen farmers" or the "gentry", who refer themselves as lord and the highest social standing in the community. Many Northerners felt slavery was an evil institution, but in the South it was an economic necessity. Only a low percentage of white southerners owned slaves and half of these families in the South had fewer than four slaves, the tiny (2%) elite who owned 50 or more slaves held a majority of slave property in the South and thus had both economic and political power.
Economic causes: The North developed into an industrial society based on manufactured goods and free labor. Northern industrialists wanted high land prices to discourage westward migration of their labor force and a high tariff to protect U.S. goods from foreign competition. In the South, agricultural society was based on the plantation system. They wanted low land prices to expand slavery and cotton farming as well as low tariffs to keep down the cost of buying manufactured goods from Europe and create favorable trading route to the export of raw farm products.

I would have chosen the North because I believe that slavery is against human rights and no matter what race you are, being a human being, everyone is equal.
