Civil War: Causes
STATES’ RIGHTS
•
The 10th Amendment to the United States
Constitution states that all powers not given to
the Congress by the Constitution (Art. I, Sec. 8)
are reserved to the states, States' Rights.
•
Because the power to decide issues regarding
slavery is not given to the Congress in the
Constitution, the southern states felt that is was
within their power to determine the issue.

•
The Northern States agreed
with the Federal Government
and wanted to abolish slavery.
•
Their economy was based on
industry and did not rely on
slavery.
•
Very few families owned
slaves.
•
The Northern States formed
the Union.
Civil War: Causes
•
The Southern States did not agree
with the Federal Government.
•
They believed in STATES’ RIGHTS
(states having the power to govern
themselves).
•
Their economy was based on
agriculture (farming and raising
livestock) and relied heavily on
slavery.
•
Many plantation owners used
slaves to work in their homes and
fields.

The Confederacy
Civil War: Causes
Tariffs
•
The South was producing cotton and selling it to the
North as well as to England.
•
Northern manufacturers were producing cloth they
wanted to sell in the South. However they charged
more than England did for those manufactured
goods.
•
The North wanted a protective tariff placed on
imported goods thus raising England’s prices on
goods.
©2012, TESCCC
Civil War: Causes
Tariffs
•
Southerners and Northerners both would have to pay
more for manufactured goods imported from
overseas, which would help sales of products made
in the U.S.
•
The South protested that the government did not
have the right to do this.
•
However, the Constitution gives the Congress the
power to pass import taxes (export taxes are
forbidden), so this was not really a states’ rights
issue.)
