The Civil War was fought in part due to the Emancipation Proclamation. It was also fought because of what most wars are fought for money or goods. The South had something the North wanted which was cotton but also the North had Factories that the South wanted.

In speaking about the US Civil War, not speaking about the first shots fired, the reasons the US Civil War became a reality was the fear of Southerners that almost everything about their culture and institutions would eventually be marginalized as the nation grew and grew in directions that the South could ever adopt. The South decided that it was better off by leaving the Union. The US believed that session would hurt the US and therefore waged a war to end the Southern rebellion.
