 * ****﻿****The Civil War was an arguement between the North(Union) and the South(Confederates) over the idea of slavery. The North stated had the idea that everyone had the same rights and no man should be a slave. The South on the other hand loved the idea of slavery and would fight for their right to keep them. The South did not like the idea of having Lincoln as the president they thought that he would abolish slavery and ruin their society and culture, in result of that the south tried to leave the union and become their own countries. Congress declined the idea. Senator John J. Crittenden proposed an idea that included a series of amendments that would stretch the Missouri Compromise** **line all the way to California.**
 * The South did not like this idea and as a result of it rebeled. In result of this rebellion the Civil War had begun. The Union in response to the war set up a series of blockades that would prevent the South from any trade with europe, causing them to rely on their own supplies. The Confederates did not like this and tried to use blockade runners, a series of very small, fast boats, the overcome them. President Abraham Lincoln being against slavery and having the power to stop it put into affect the Emancipation Proclamation which would set all the slaves free and make any type of slavery illegal.**
 * As the Civil War came to an end the Union had won. Since the U.S. had still been divided into North and South, Predident Lincoln had an idea of Reconstruction, or reuniting the country. Some people who were helping with this idea were the Radical Republicans who had three main ideas which were: To prevent the Confederate leaders from coming into power, for the Republican party to come into power, and to help all African Americans to achieve political equality. A group of people did not like the idea of the African American having the same rights as them and as a result formed a group known as the Ku Klux Klan.**
