After the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1860, the states
of the southern United States broke away from the federal union.
Believing that Lincoln would restrict their rights to own slaves, Southerners
decided that secession was a better choice.
President Lincoln and the North opposed the South's withdrawal. Despite
Lincoln's hopes that the secession would end without conflict, the two
regions fought a war.
The North held many advantages over the South during the Civil War:
population, a potential source for military enlistees and civilian
manpower , factories and industries, transportation network, mainly
highways, canals, and railroads.
However , The South was able to fight on its home terrain, and it could win
the war simply by continuing to exist after the hostilities ended later.
The South ultimately did not achieve its goals, and after four years of
fighting the North won the war.
Racism caused the American Civil War, a
racism that transcended social culture,
geographic section, and political orientation,
and became entangled with the creation of
the Constitution and the Union.
