ReplyDeleteThe Civil War started at Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Bay. The reason the war started was to abolish slavery but the south wanted slaves because they had all the plantations while the north was more factories so they didn’t really need slaves. The country was torn apart from the decision to abolish slavery. The south wanted to split the country into two countries so they could have slavery, but because of that decision a war broke out. This war will end with more Americans dead than any other wars.
Some of the important people in the war were Abraham Lincoln, General P.G.T, and many other people. Abraham Lincoln was important because he made all of the hard decisions and was the president. General P.G.T was important because he was the person that started the Civil War.
The definition for secede is to separate. Secession was important to the confederate because they were going to separate from the United States to have slavery.
The American Civil War began at Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Bay. The Civil War started because the Northern States of America had been against slavery, but the Southern States still kept slaves. The Southern States were led to form a unified separation from the rest of the Northern States. Two major players in the war were Abraham Lincoln, the Union leader, and Jefferson Davis, the leader of the Confederacy. Republican Abraham Lincoln won the presidency and forced the Confederacy to secede. After the announcement, South Carolina began taking forts, arsenals, and more important areas within the state. Jefferson Davis from Mississippi, was then elected president of the Confederate States of America. Four years after the first battle at Fort Sumter, the Confederate States lost the war at the cost of 620,000 Confederate and Union Casualties.
