The Civil War (fought from 1861 to 1865). One of the most tragic pages in the history of the young country was the Civil War.That was a war between the states in the in the North and the South.

The Northern states were called the Confederacy.

One main cause of the Civil War was slavery. Slaves were African people who were brought to the United States.

The slaves didn’t have any rights and freedoms. They were bought and sold like animals.

The Southern states said they needed slaves to work on the farms.

The Northern states wanted to end the system of slavery. In 1863 the 16th American President signed the Emancipation Proclamation – the document that made all the slaves free.

Another cause of the Civil War was economics. The North had many new factories but the South had many big farms called plantations. The North and the South could not agree about taxes. In 1865 the North won the war.
