"The differences in cultures between the established (Native Americans) & the (Europeans) caused hostilities not to mention the diseases which afflicted the indigenous (Native Americans) by way of the (Europeans)."

Actually The Civil War began because the South wanted to break away from the North.  The South was the place where the vast majority of trade materials (food cotton...) were made/grown and traded abroad.  The $ was split between all of the states.  Slavery quickly came into the picture because, not only was it horrific, but without them the South wouldn't be rich enough to be on it's own.  Thank God the North won!

Have you figured out the answer now that 11 months have passed? Hope so...........
