Question

why do you think Americans division over the issue of slavery led to the nation fighting civil war against itself ?​

Answer 1

Answer: The efforts to deal with the issue of enslavement with legislative compromises were doomed to fail—enslavement was never going to be a sustainable practice in a modern democratic country. But the institution was so entrenched in the United States that it could only be resolved by a Civil War and the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment.
