Which action increased the tensions between the North and South that led to the Civil War?

The main issue that started the Civil War was the slave trade. The North didn't think African Americans should automatically be slaves and thought owning slaves was morally wrong. However, the South disagreed and believed African Americans were lesser beings and therefore should be enslaved. The slave legislation was probably the action that increased the tensions the most.

a. The dred scott decision

Answered by dnmzzrll | 2024-06-11

The Dred Scott decision of 1857 significantly increased tensions between the North and South by ruling that slaves were not citizens and that Congress could not restrict slavery in the territories. This ruling angered many Northerners and fueled the growing anti-slavery movement. Combined with other events, it ultimately led to the secession of Southern states and the Civil War.
