  • The election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860 sparked calls for secession throughout the slaveholding South. The secession of the American Civil War at Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861, was sparked by South Carolina's secession.
  • The monarchy viewpoint must be shared by the North and South. But, because the south did not want to, they rose up to fight for their freedom.
  • The purported concept was not that a human being could not legitimately possess another, but that he could not own him unless he was faithful to the United States.
  • Under the constitution, a state cannot quit the Union. This does not imply that a state must always remain a member of the Union. If the government is not carrying out its mandate, the people have the right to change it.
  • According to the situation at that time, the Southern states should be allowed to secede. Both the North and the South might have profited if the South had been allowed to secede. The South's economy mainly depended on slavery so it would be hard for them to have gone through the agonizing transition from a slave-labor-based plantation economy to a free-labor-based industrial economy. However, the South would have enjoyed a manufacturing productive economy following that transition.

  • The CIVIL WAR was a strategy on an unthinkable scale. Americans were slaughtered by fellow Americans over four long and terrible years. During the conflict, one out of every twenty-five American men died. Over 640,000 troops were killed throughout the war. Many civilians were killed as well, in numbers that are generally uncounted.
  • More Americans were slain at the Battle of Antietam than on any other single day in American history. On that day, 22,719 men were killed – four times the number of Americans killed during WWII's D-Day invasion of Normandy. In fact, the Civil War killed more American soldiers than all subsequent American conflicts combined.
  • The naval battle between the Monitor and Virginia (also known as the Merrimac) was one of the most renowned of the Civil War, despite neither side winning decisively.
  • These battles affected nearly every household in the US. There was hardly a household in the South that did not lose a son, brother, or father.

  • Despite the fact that the military battles had finished, Reconstruction was still a war in many respects. This crucial conflict was fought by radical northerners who wanted to punish the South and Southerners who urgently wanted to retain their way of life.
