How did the civil war divide the country?

How did the civil war war divide the country politically, socially, morally, and geographically? Also, do you think we could have resolved the differences without war and could we have found freedom another way?|||politically: it split all the parties. E.g. suppose to be democrats v. republicans but it became northern democrats w/ northern republicans v. southern dems and repub.





moral: north: free slaves, evertone equal, south: keep slaves, slave inferior





geographically: Confederacy v Union, Alabama, South Carolina, etc. seceded from U.S.





No way. The war was not just, are slaves equal? It was about economics. The Southerners needed free labor for cotton production. Without them, the plantations would fail and they would be bankrupt. so Southerners needed slaves for survival. Was not simply a moral issue

hope this helped.|||It divided the country economically and culturally in the biggest ways i would say. the south had particular views on how to do business and that slavery to them being an acceptable way for them to continue doing that which is a factor of their economy at the time. Politically it caused those in power, senators, etc to take sides on the issues and things would naturally escalate so I don't things could have been done any other way. War because of that was inevitable.
