The American Civil War was a violent conflict between the Union and Confederate forces that took place between 1861-1865. The Union was the group from the North and the Confederacy was the South. The ultimate cause was over the future of slavery expansion in the United States. The Confederacy was formed after a group of states seceded from the Union. This was the direct result of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed slavery expansion, winning the Presidential race in 1860. The Southern slave states then left the Union to create a new state where they could continue the slave trade. The war began when the Confederacy began to attack and seize U.S. Forts. Violent battles continued over the next couple of years. But the fighting continued to escalate, especially after the creation of the Emancipation Proclamation. The Emancipation Proclamation, which was created in 1863, freed all slaves in the rebel states. Following this were a series of bloody battles, leading up to the 3-day Battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. It was also considered the turning point toward bringing this war to an end. More battles raged for the rest of the year, but the Confederacy was seriously weakened. Their numbers, infrastructure, and morale were deteriorating rapidly. In 1865, General Lee finally surrendered, bringing the war closer to an end. The end of the war resulted in the abolition of slavery and a collapsed Confederacy. Unfortunately, Lincoln was assassinated mere days after Lee’s surrender took place, but he was able to see the victory of the Civil War coming to an end.
