Explanation:

19世纪期间,美国发展非常快,但并不是所有地方都一样的发展。随着时间推移,北方州和南方州的差异越来越大,这些差异最终导致了内战的爆发,也就是1861年到1865年美国内部的战争。导致内战爆发的最主要原因是奴隶制,经济和州的权力。

During the 1800s, the United States grew very quickly, but it did not grow in the same way in all places. Over time, there were more and more differences between the northern states and the southern states. These differences eventually (or in the end) led to the Civil War, which was a war where Americans fought against each other from 1861 to 1865. The most important differences that led to the Civil War were slavery, the economy, and states’ rights.

奴隶制(或将人归为己有并强迫其无偿劳动的形式)在南方比北方更常见。北方有很多小家庭农场,也有足够的老李,但南方的人口少,很多农场非常大,农场主需要奴隶工作。奴隶是南方赚钱的重要部分,但北方的人开始认为奴隶制是错误的并想将奴隶制视为非法。这一做法使南方州非常愤怒,他们香葱美国脱离出来组建新的国家。

Slavery (or the practice of owning people and forcing them to work without paying them) was more common (or usual and normal) in the southern states than in the northern states. The north had many small, family-owned farms and enough people to work on them. But in the south, there were fewer people. Most of the farms were very large and the owners needed slaves to do the work. Slaves were a critical (or very important) part of how the south made money, but people in the north were beginning to think that slavery was immoral (or wrong) and wanted to make it illegal (or against the law). This made the southern states afraid and angry and they wanted to secede from (or leave) the United States and create their own country.

内战的爆发还有经济原因。南方州有很多大农场,这些农场依靠农业即种植和饲养动物为生。南方要经济强大就需要农场赚钱。北方州有更大更发达的城市,很多北方州的人靠生产和贸易赚钱。有些历史学家认为这些经济差异是导致内战爆发的原因之一。

There were also economic (or business and money) reasons for the Civil War. The southern states had many plantations (or large farms). These plantations were dependent on (or needed) agriculture, which included farming and raising animals for food. For the south to have a strong economy, it needed plantations to make money. The northern states had larger and more developed cities. Many of the people in the northern states made money from manufacturing (or making things to sell) and trading (or selling things to other countries). Some historians (or people who study things that happened in the past) believe that these economic differences were a cause of the Civil War (or one of the reasons for the Civil War).

最后,州的权力是另一个导致内战的愿意。北方州的人口快速增长,有很多移民。南方州的人口增长缓慢,南方州担心他们的权力会变小因为北方州在联邦政府会有更多的代表。南方州还担心联邦政府权力过大,削弱自己州的权力,这就是内战爆发的第三个主要原因。

Finally, states’ rights (or the ability to do and have certain things) were another problem that led to the Civil War. The population (or the number of people) in the northern states was growing very quickly, with a lot of immigration (or people coming from other countries to live there). In the south, the population was growing more slowly. Southern states were afraid that they would lose their rights because the northern states would have more representation in the federal government. Southern states were also worried that the federal (or national) government would become too strong, taking power away from the states. This was the third major cause of the Civil War.
