Today I’d like to talk about the civil war. Between 1860 and 1861 eleven states from the southern region of The United States of America seceded, which means that they left the states to create/build their own country, they called themselves the Confederate States of America, or the confederacy, for short. The other 24 states that stayed called themselves the union. In April of 1861, troops from the confederacy fired at union soldiers from the safety of Mount Sumter, in South Carolina, this is what started the civil war. Abraham Lincoln, who was president at that time, knew that if he let other countries secede like the confederates did, which was whenever they wanted to; it would set a bad example in the future. When a state in America didn’t like the rules, they were able to leave. This is exactly what the confederacy did, because they believed in state rights, which comes from the tenth amendment, which allows them to change the law of the town, as long as they didn’t go against the federal law. The north and south started to disagree on how much power would go to the federal law. In 1832, South Carolina almost started joining in on the agreement during the time of the nullification crisis. You see, South Carolina wanted to cancel a federal tariff that was hurting the economy. Tariff is a type of tax for trades. Tariffs can be found in northern industries and it hurts farms in the southern region in The United States of America. Some historians say that the civil war happened because of state rights. Other historians thought that it was slavery that caused the civil war. By the time the constitution of the U.S.A was adopted in 1787, most of the states that were north of Delaware declared slavery illegal. Slavery started to divide the north and the south from then and the civil war. Pre- states were extremely afraid of the Louisiana Purchase lands, which was bought from France in 1803. They didn’t want to any of the United States to become pro slavery. In 1820, Northern and southern states were agreeing to the Missouri Compromise, which divided the Louisiana Purchase between slavery, and freedom. There is a lot more detail that explains the civil war but this is all I want to talk about for the causes of the civil war so good bye!
