=Slavery : =

The South had started slavery because of their cotton and farming. Slavery had been the main cause of the civil war. Slavery had made the U.S. split up into two groups, The Union and The Confederacy. The North had apposed slavery while the South wanted slavery. Seven states had seceded when Abraham Lincoln was elected because he wanted to get rid of slavery. During the war, the South had used slaves to help them fight. This allowed the South to fight the war longer because of the more people that they had. The slaves of the Confederacy were free after the war because of the Emancipation Proclamation. Then the thirteenth Amendment banned slavery in the United States. media type="youtube" key="7KyET5gTQ6g?fs=1" height="385" width="640" Back
