The civil war was a necessary evil

Well up until the Civil War, Congress had been sweeping the issue of slavery under the rug for much too long. Tensions built with events such as Nat Turner's rebellion, and John Brown's radical abolitionist preaching. Eventually things just got out of hand, and it resulted in the Civil War. So, yes the Civil War was a necessary evil, because it HAD to happened sooner or later.

If the American Civil War did not take place, there would have been a huge hole in American history where nothing much happened ;)

Yes, sometimes civil was is needed. Often it doesn't matter who wins, it matters that a polarized situation is moved from a stalemate to one position of dominance.

Well if you search up on Google, I am sure that you could find much better knowledge than I could ever offer you, but I guess another important thing to note would be, tensions about Slavery (and the size of the government), could largely be accredited to the western land acquisitions we received through expansion. Basically after we had acquired all those states, the issue in Congress, was wether these states should be able to have legalized slavery. To my knowledge, Congress said no, and basically the Southern and newly acquired states were pissed off because the government (that was increasing in size) said the newly acquired states could not have slaves. I don't know if that really helps you, but it is some general knowledge that could aid you in your search, or give you some ideas.

Here's an excellent page to start your research.
