Was the issue of slavery in the territories divides the north and south the immediate cause that spark the set off of the US Civil War?
Not the immediate cause - it had been a long-running debate. The immediate cause was Lincoln's election victory on a ticket of no new slave-states.
What divided the north and the south that led to the civil war?
The big immediate issue was the law requiring all new states to be non slave states. The underlying large issue was the erosion of residual state sovereignty guaranteed in the 9th and 10th amendments of the constitution. That larger issue is still being fought in the courts today.
What event led to the immediate secession of South Carolina?
The election of Lincoln as the first Republican president, after the Democratic Party had split into two factions. Lincoln had been elected because he was moderate on the slavery issue.
Is the confedrate flag racist?
It holds negative connotations for some due to the slavery issue of the war, however some view it as just a symbol of rebellion. I think it is used more for that purpose than the other by some margin.
