In The Beginning
*Abraham Lincoln became president in 1860*. This caused the south to be very angry, because of Lincoln's opposition of slavery. *The southern states needed slavery, so they seceded from the Union to form their own land, the Confederate States of America. =Slavery Issues= *The Union opposed slavery, while the south needed slavery for certain things that needed to be done in the south, but not in the north. Therefore, they seceded from the Union, creating the Confederacy. The Confederacy attacked many Union bases, causing war across the nation. Some people fled from the south, joining the union; and vice versa because of slavery laws. For example, slavery was against the law on one side, while wasn't on the other. *Slaves would cross over territories to get away from slavery =What happened?= When the South seceded, It became the Confederacy, also known as the Confederate States of America.

=Great Leaders= Abraham Lincoln was the president of the Union, although he wasn't the only president in America at the time. The Confederate States of America named Jefferson Davis president of them. Because of this, separate laws could be made in territories, causing confusion with slavery, and bringing out more battles to win over the land.

=Sad Endings, New Beginnings= In 1865, the war had ended, having the North be victorious. The Union and the Confederacy united back together, and they earned some new territory. The rejoining of the two lands had meant that greater laws would need to be given, mainly about freedom. The 13th Amendment was established soon after, and stated that slavery was forbidden. = America's Change Animation =
