Answer:

The primary catalysts of the American Civil War (1861–1865) were slavery, states' rights, economic disparities, and political disagreement. The institution of slavery played a pivotal role, as Southern states staunchly supported it while Northern governments vehemently opposed its extension. The conflict was exacerbated by disagreements over states' rights and economic differences between the industrial North and rural South. Notable achievements included the maintenance of the Union, the eradication of slavery by the 13th Amendment, and the reinforcement of federal power. The conflict also resulted in the Reconstruction Period, a period in which the Southern states were re-established and previously enslaved individuals were granted citizenship and voting rights via the implementation of the 14th and 15th Amendments.
