That's a very Readers Digest blog and the causes were much more complex than their biased simplistic top five. I agree that slavery was nothing to be proud of but to say that it was the overriding cause for the war is naive.

Of course they cared, I posted this link it was written for children so it's pretty easy to understand. The lack of fairness in trade and tax revenue on the north's behalf was the basis of the dispute. American Civil War Causes Kids Zone
