Yes representation was one of the issues that directly caused the Civil War.
However, it was not the only cause. The expansion of slavery was a huge one, but this relates to representation in Congress because the more slave states there were, the more votes that would swing debates into the slave states favor.
slavery became an issue many years before the civil war.
Tariffs and the southern perception of unfair representation. The north was heavily populated and thus ruled congress. Contrary to public belief, slavery was a VERY minor issue.
It is NOT the "civil war". Slavery was a very minor issue at the start of the war.
Representation of the South increased because more Southern states were created during Reconstruction.
The Civil War (1861-1865) The Civil War was fought between the Union (north) and the Confederacy (south). The war was fought mainly about the issue of slavery. The Union eventually won and that is what makes us the United States of America today.
States' rights, unfair tariffs, and unfair representation in congress. Slavery was but a minor issue in 1861.

Yes, the civil war was started on the issue of slavery.
It was a Northern State that was pro slavery and anti Confederacy. It did not view the civil war as a slave issue. It considered the civil war a states rights issue.

Modern revisionists get it wrong every time (and on purpose). The slavery issue actually had very little to do with the War Between the States. The main reasons were the same as with the Revolutionary War : State's Rights and taxation without representation.
The main cause of the Civil War in the United States was the issue of slavery, specifically whether it should be allowed to expand into new territories. This heightened tensions between the Northern and Southern states over the economic, political, and social implications of slavery, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the war in 1861.
