What was civilians attitude towrds the civil war?
There were many different attitudes about the civil war, and many people had changing beliefs about the war. In both the South and North, people often felt patriotic and felt it was a battle for survival (more so down south). Many people were opposed to war from the start. Some families had members fighting on both sides, which created a mixed feeling about the war. As the war dragged on though, more and more people wanted it to end (this tends to happen a lot in wars).

During the civil war why did the south have to leave the union?
because the south was angry, the north decided to take their money. north stole the south money and south very angry, but American way. north killed south and that's where theres no racism, Abraham Lincoln. #2 Mostly because of state's rights, the south felt that the Union didn't have the right to tell them how to live and do business, slavery was one of the issues that brought the crisis to a head. When the south talked about secession the Union said they would enforce the Union claim by force. That also inflamed the south who considered that an invasion of their sovereign states.
Why did the Civil War begin?
One of the biggest arguments between the north and the south, was whether or not the new states (California, and other states in the west) would be a slave state or a free state. Who ever gained those states would get the advantage to stop slavery from spreading. When the north won California and another state i believe, the south felt cheated and wanted to secede then but the compromise of the fugitive slave law was issued keeping them in the union. Southern slave owners could see that eventually Congress was likely to outlaw slavery. There were also states' rights issues. The South had resented tariffs that were imposed to protect Northern industry at the expense of the South who had to pay for imports .
