    Causes of the Civil War - The North threw a hissy fit over stuff the south was doing and illegalised it, the south threw a hissy fit over the north's hissy fit and illegalization so they left the USA, and then the north threw a hissy for over the south's hissy, and started blowing them to hell until they came home.
