Prejudice, leading to war

Prejudice can lead to war when both parties cannot come into an agreement. In 1861, there was the American Civil War in which the Northern state wanted the Southern state to disown their slaves since they thought that they should be of a country and not own slaves, while the South felt that they have the right to own their slaves. This incidence later led to war when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. The reason for the war was because the Southern state was to keep their slaves while the Northern state do not allow that. Prejudice is involved because the Southern state thought that since they were of a higher authority than the slaves, they could use them for their industry. Therefore, prejudice could led to a start of war because of disagreement of one or both parties.
