Civil War (16 nov 1860 ano – 1 h 41 m, 6 abr 1865 ano)

Descrição:

The Civil War started because of differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet entered the Union. When Abraham Lincoln won the election of 1860 as the first Republican president who pledged to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America, and thus a war began. It was significant for resolving the controversial issues associated with slavery and finalized the way in which it would be from the end of the War forward: demolished.
