Question

us history semester final
what was the primary cause of the civil war?
○ disputes over slavery and states’ rights
○ conflict with native americans
○ disagreement over the national bank
○ foreign invasion

Explanation:

To determine the primary cause of the US Civil War, we analyze each option:

• "Conflict with Native Americans" was not the primary cause of the Civil War (it was more related to westward expansion and other eras).
• "Disagreement over the national bank" was an issue in earlier US history (e.g., during Jackson's era) and not the Civil War's cause.
• "Foreign invasion" did not occur to trigger the Civil War.
• "Disputes over slavery and states’ rights" is widely recognized as the primary cause, as the North and South clashed over the expansion of slavery and the balance of power between states and the federal government.

Answer:

A. Disputes over slavery and states’ rights
