Blog-Writing Prompt #7 - Prejudice leading to war

     Prejudice had led to war, such as the Civil War in America. Different mindset and thinking of whether slavery of the African Americans were allowed had caused the war. The Southerners felt that slavery should not be ended, while the Northerners wanted an end in slavery. This resulted in the Civil War, which killed 8% of all White males aged from 13 to 43, including 6% in the North an 18% in the South. About 56,000 soldiers died in prison during the Civil War.
      This showed that prejudice could lead to war, and could be a very severe one.
