Read this report and underline the correct answer.

The Civil War in the United States of America had many causes. The major one was
that in the 18th and 19th centuries, industry was concentrated in the Northern part of the
country and the southern was dedicated to agriculture. Since Southern states had a
smaller population, they brought in slaves from Africa to work in their fields.
The people who lived in the North didint have slaves and they didnt believe in slavery.
Many slaves from the South escaped and found freedom in the North. Slavery divided
the country and, in 1860, some Southern states separated from the North and formed
their own country. This led to the Civil War.
