The essay is aSliows:
The causes ole civil war in my opin-
ion are as folks: The North based its
claim on the Iservation of the Union.
Al the time of e war of 1912, when the
Hartford conveion was held, the North
claimed the sal right as the South
claimed In the kil war, that is loyalty
40 the principleof states rights.
The reason thaartford convention was
held was to colder The advisability of
the New Engla states seeding. New
England's reasowas, that the war with
England was aSnst her interests as it
would paralyZe er trade. They did not
stop to considethat the United States
was fighting fofhe benefit of New Eng
land and her ininational rights. Neither
of these things as taken into cOnsidera-
ton by the NeYEngland states; it was
just the tempory stopping of all trade
by her. When + Southern states seced-
ed because theybought it was to their
benefit to leave d Union and establish
separate governnat of their own, the
New England stas were among the first
10 oppose it, on t. ground that it was
against the constiNion.
Before the warbf 1872 the North, as
well as the South wanted a low tariff,
but the United Stas being thrown on its
own resources forts arms and ammuni-
ton in that war, I'd the North being
good manufacturie region, the North
was in favor of Bh tariff. The South,
being an agricultFal region, importing
all of its agriculral implements, natu-
rally wanted a loytariff. The high tariff
caused the prices h these imported goods
to be raised. In 16, Congress was asked
TO raise the tax b imports so that the
price of certain g5ds would be increased
