1 Civil War

2 The North and South hardly agreed on anything whether it was states’ rights or slavery. Then they went to war. Brother against brother. The Civil War lasted from North vs. South One side against slavery the other for slavery

3

4 A book written by a Northern named Harriet Beecher Stowe told people about the conditions the Southerns treated their slaves. It was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin

5 One Cause of the Civil War
The South threatened to become its own country. But the North claimed it was against the Constitution. Most Northerns were abolitionists and helped slaves escape using the Underground Railroad. They also didn’t help the South with returning the freed slaves.

6 The South in 1850 only had 1/3 of the population of the U.S.
“It is not humanity that influences you…it is that you may have majority in the Congress of the United States…” -Jefferson Davis (a senator from the South) One problem was… The South in 1850 only had 1/3 of the population of the U.S. Which meant that they had less say in the passing of laws in the Senate.

7 Did you know… 3,000,000 people fought in the Civil War
Unfortunately, 600,000 of them died That means 1 out of every 5 people fighting for their side died.
