Recorded sources
0 sources for · 4 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the American Civil War caused the institution of slavery in the United States?

No. Multiple reference and scholarly sources state that slavery was a central cause of the American Civil War, the reverse of the claim that the war caused slavery; one source notes Lincoln's wartime efforts to abolish slavery.
