Civil war is coming
Descibing the Civil War
After the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the American civil war came. It started in 1861 to 1865 the civil war was United States fighting each other the north and south. The reason was that the north or union disagreed with slavery but the south or confederates needed slavery because of their agriculture for cotton.
The issue has gotten more complicated by revisionists, whose been trying to improve the image of the south by less the role of slavery. The Republican Party was determined to stop any spread of slavery, and many southern leaders threatened secession if Lincoln won the election. The day of election Lincoln did win, after election southern whites felt that disunion had become their only option. When the war began the union had more advantages by controlling the boundaries states and blockades the south that made their economy low. The fall of 1862 confederate campaign into Maryland ended at the battle of Antietam, dissuading British intervention. Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, which made ending slavery the wars goal. The union in the west defeated the confederates ship and started to attack confederate troops in all direction. The confederates army failed when leading by lees surrender that ended the civil war.
