Hello this may stab me in the back but today we talk about the American civil war a war which cause is debated. While the world was against slavery at this point the United States was still dived by the pro slavery south and the anti slavery north. The south was reliant on slavery and build on racism. The north was more industrial and its goal was to balance the pro and anti slavery states while the south wanted to ruin this balance. Eventually a problem arouse which was the state of Missouri. There was a line drawn to divide north and south and Missouri was above this line so a thing known as the Missouri compromise happened where Missouri got a small piece of land under the line. Maine became a state which was anti slavery and California got to be anti slavery as long as they sent one pro slavery and one anti slavery senator. But this soon started to fail for a pro slavery president was elected and railroads along with a right wing party called the know nothing party which was so racist they wanted to enslave the Irish and the Italians for they thought that Americans were the only true whites. Anyways because of the railroad the owner wanted to send a bill to see if it wanted to pass. And Kansas was above the line. So this led to bleeding Kansas were pro and anti slavery farmers would murder each other. There were attempts to break off southern California into a pro slavery state called Colorado but this failed and the name got stolen. The election of 1856 the United States two party system changed the Whig party collapsed a new liberal(at the time before becoming conservative after teddy Roosevelt left in 1913) party called the republican party had taken their place which still new lost to the conserative(at the time swapping to liberal after Woodrow Wilson left office in 1921) democrat party. The new president named James Buchanan won he refused to do anything whilst the nation collapsed and is considered the worst or 2nd to worst president in American history behind Andrew Johnson. So when the 1860 election came along the divided northern and southern democrats left the door open for Abraham Lincoln to win with the republican party to become 16th president his anti slavery stance led to many states leaving before he took office on March 4th forming the confederate states of America better known as the confederacy by americans formed on February 8th 1861. And many more leaving after his entry to office. These led to the confederacy attacking fort Sumter starting the American civil war
