Civil War essay blah blah blah

it was a civil war in the United States from 1861 to 1865, fought between northern states loyal to the Union and southern states that had seceded to form the Confederate States of America. The civil war began primarily as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of Black people. War broke out in April 1861 when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, just over a month after Abraham Lincoln had been inaugurated as the President of the United States. The loyalists of the Union in the North, which also included some geographically western and southern states, proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery.



Of The 34 us states in feburary 1861, seven southern slave states were declared by their state goverments to have seceded from the country, And the confedarate States of America was organized in rebellion against the U.S. constitutional goverment The Confederacy grew to control at least a majority of territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional states of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from the native seccessionists fleeing Union authority These states were given full representation in the Confederate Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining slave states, Delaware and Maryland, were invited to join the Confederacy, but nothing substantial developed due to intervention by federal troops.



The Confederate states were never thought as a joint entity by the goverment of the us or by the rest of the world the ones that are loyal still are called union they both had armies and all heck broke loose and we already know what happened after that. and thats my essay nerds
