Thesis: Slavery was the leading cause of the Civil war, with Glory detailing the 54th Massachusetts and Killer Angels detailing the Battle of Gettysburg perspective of the America Civil War. Introduction. A divided nation is divided citizens. The civil war was a battle of the Confederate States and the United States of America, an assembly of eleven southern states that disconnected from the Union in 1860 and 1861. A difference in the slavery institution viewpoint caused the battle. In the North, the manufacturing industry was booming; hence agriculture was done on a small scale, but the south economy depended on the enslaved Black people to offer cheap labor in the plantations since agriculture was done on a large scale.
