American Civil War (12 Apr 1861 Jahr – 9 Apr 1865 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

The Civil War was triggered by deep-seated disagreements over the issue of slavery, the rights of states, and the economic differences between the Northern and Southern regions. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who was against the expansion of slavery, led to the Southern states breaking away and creating the Confederate States of America. The Union, under the leadership of President Lincoln, eventually defeated the Confederacy after four years of intense fighting, leading to the end of slavery and the enactment of the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. The Civil War marked a pivotal moment in U.S. history, ensuring the preservation of the country and the eradication of slavery. Its aftermath, known as Reconstruction, aimed to restore the South and include people who had been enslaved in society, but the war resulted in lasting racial tensions and regional conflicts that still affect American society today.
