When American voters cast their

ballots for president in 1860, the

hostility between many white

Northerners and white Southerners was

visible to everyone. The issue that divided

them was slavery—the legal ownership of

one human being by another. For thousands

of years, the institution of slavery had raised

no moral questions. Many people in many

lands accepted it as a natural part of society.

In the early 19th century, a small but growing

number of people began challenging the

practice on religious and moral grounds. The

result set the stage for political conflict in the

United States.
