explain the American civil war
Answers
The American Civil War (1861 - 1865) began when most of the political power was centered in the North because it grew more rapidly than the South.
The North wanted the abolition of slavery although the South insisted on the continuation of slavery to ease labour demands. With Abraham Lincoln as the Republican president, the Southerners weren't keen on being under the rule of an anti-slavery Northerner.
The Confederacy (South) persisted on gaining independence from the Union (North), which they called states' rights. One of the reasons was because taxes paid on goods were much higher in the South compared to the North.
John Brown, a devout abolitionist, fought for the freedom of slaves and raided the armory at Harper's Ferry. However, he was cornered by militiamen and hung after being found guilty. This sparked off the Northerners with a passion to do the same.
The war ended with a victory of the Union over the Confederates, with the death of about 620,000 soldiers which resulted from combat, starvation and diseases during the Civil War.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, declared that all slaves were to be set free. Nevertheless, slavery still continued illegally until the 13th Amendment was passed in 1865.
During the era of Reconstruction that lasted from 1865 to 1877, the Southern states were gradually admitted back into the Union and ravaged areas were rebuilt.
