问题     The American Civil War was fought over 100 years ago. It began in 1861 and【S1】______until 1865. The battles of the American Civil War resulted in the【S2】______of 620,000 Americans. What【S3】______this terrible civil war between the North and the South?
    Well, historians believe that there were many causes of the war. One of the important causes of the war was the【S4】______between the North and the South over the issue of slavery. The southern way of life and the southern economy were based on the use of【S5】______. For almost 250 years before the Civil War, the economy of the South【S6】______the use of black slaves. The slaves were used to plant and pick cotton and tobacco. Cotton and tobacco were the main crops【S7】______in the South. Most Southerners did not think it was wrong to own, buy, or sell slaves like farm animals. Slavery was, in fact, the foundation of the entire economy and way of life in the South. This was not the situation in the North. The northern economy did not depend on the use of slave labor. Why not?
    Well, in the South there were many large cotton plantations that used hundreds of slaves. In the North, however, there were smaller farms. The northern farmers planted many different kinds of crops, not just cotton or tobacco. The Northerners did not need slaves, since their farms were smaller than most of the southern plantations. In fact, many Northerners were so 【S8】______slavery that they wanted to end slavery completely. The northern attitude against slavery made the Southerners angry.      So, for many years before the war, there was【S9】______friction between the North and South over this issue. This friction eventually【S10】______war.
