Can't Get Request to work

So I downloaded a fresh install of Laravel, and I'm trying to get a simple contact form to work, the contact form is at the footer, so it I included it in the master layout. Here's what I did: First: because I will need users I ran this command:

    php artisan make:auth

Second: I edit the master page and included my form there.

Then I implemented the contact form logic, then whenever I click on send It just reloads the same page if the route group is set as [api], and if it's set as [web] it shows:

        TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php line 67:

My Routes File:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['api']], function () {
    Route::post('/', 'FormController@handleFormPost')->name('contact');
});

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    Route::auth();
    Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');
});

My FormController:

class FormController extends Controller
{
        public function handleFormPost(ContactFormRequest $request)
        {
            $request->all();
            Mail::send('emails.contactemail',
                ['name' => $request->get('name'),
                    'email' => $request->get('email'),
                    'msg' => $request->get('msg')], function($message)
                {
                    $message->from('example@example.com');
                    $message->to('example@example.com', 'Admin')->subject('Customer Feedback');
                });

            return Redirect::route('/')->with('message', 'Thank you for contacting us :)');
        }
}

My ContactFormRequest:

class ContactFormRequest extends Request
{
    public function authorize()
        {
            return true;
        }

        public function rules()
        {
        return [
                'name' => 'required|max:120',
                'email' => 'required|email|max:50',
                'msg' => 'required'
            ];
        }
}

Thank you all for your help, If I need to provide more details please inform me.
