Submit Button is Doing Nothing

Hello, I have been trying to determine why the submit button in my HTML form is not working. When I click on it I get no errors in the console and no exceptions. It does nothing. I have tried many of the suggestions on Laracasts and StackOverflow, but have found nothing that works. It may be something very simple and if so, I apologize. I am still fairly new at Laravel.

I have tried to name my Route::post('/posts/store', 'PostController@store'), but that did not work. I have tried the code below, but nothing is working.

action="{{ action('PostController@store') }}" action="{{ route('posts/store') }}" action="{{ route('posts.store') }}" (This was after giving it a name of posts.store) action="{{ URL('posts/store') }}"

Laravel 5.7 PHP 7.2.10 Ubuntu 18.04

create.blade.php

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-lg-3"></div>
    <div class="col-md-9">
      <h1>Enter New Blog Post</h1>
      <hr>
      <div class="form-group">
        <form method="POST" action="{{ action('PostController@store') }}">
            <label for="title">Title</label>
            <input class="form-control" id="title" name='title' type="text"></input>
          </div>
          <div class="form-group">
            <label for="post">Blog Post</label>
            <textarea class="form-control" id="post" name='post' ></textarea>
