Solution

The end of slavery in the United States was primarily brought about by B. The Civil War.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The issue of slavery was a major factor that led to the Civil War. The southern states, where slavery was integral to the economy and social structure, wanted to maintain it, while many in the northern states wanted to abolish it.

  2. The Civil War began in 1861 and was fought between the northern states (known as the Union) and the southern states that seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy.

  3. In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. This did not end slavery entirely, as it did not apply to the border states that had not seced
