American Civil War

The main causes of the outbreak of war were slavery, contrasts north-south, the Southern nationalism exacerbated at the time, interstate rates, which more costly manufactured goods from the north at the expense of agricultural products from the south, regional issues, and the final trigger war: The election of Abraham Lincoln, republican, reportedly in favor of the liberation of the slaves in the south.

The war had its origin in the fractious issue of slavery, especially the extension of slavery into the western territories.

In the spring of 1861, decades of simmering tensions between the northern and southern United States over issues including states' rights versus federal authority, westward expansion and slavery exploded into the American Civil War.

Was a civil war fought from 1861 to 1865.
