    In middle school I remember having to write an essay about how the civil war was because of political, economic, and social issues. Of which I don’t fully remember the arguments but I vividly remember being taught that and having to write this essay on it. Grew up in Texas for reference.

      Political issue: “We want to keep slavery legal”

      Economic issue: “If we abolish slavery, the economy will suffer”

      Social issue: “We’re racist”
