The American Civil War was a war fought in the United States from

1861 to 1865. As a result of the long-standing controversy over slavery,
war broke out in April 1861, when Confederate forces attacked Fort
Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after U.S. President Abraham Lincoln
was inaugurated. The Civil War not only cost money, but more than

anything, it cost lives. The Civil War remains the deadliest war in
American history. The Civil War wasn’t a terrorist attack or a war with
another Country; it was a war between fellow Americans over racism.

Once the North won the war and Slavery was outlawed, Conservatives still
furious for not getting their way, The Confederacy planned to kidnap

President Lincoln and release him in exchange for Confederate prisoners,
but when President Lincoln gave a speech promoting voting rights for
blacks, a determined John Wilkes Booth wouldn’t accept it and killed our

President.

The Civil War was the worst tragedy in history and the South was

welcomed back into the Union with no punishment and the same rights as
those who remained loyal and true to their Country. President Johnson
took a lenient approach and saw the achievement of the main war goals as
realized in 1865, however, he was terribly mistaken. Johnson came to

office as the Civil War concluded.
