decisions of slavery in their own local government.
This is were it began, to take a advantage over the congress many southern states were sending many over state lines to vote for slavery, although they were not residents, which passed the slavery laws and northern congress heard about this and comforted these congressmen. These southern state were willing to do anything to insure slavery, but it was abused power of the southern states. Congress was upset for the deceiving plan they hatched up congressmen of the northern states were planning on punishing the south, it never got to that other issue at hand was starting to arrive in congress. President Polk was going to be leaving office and the democratic were sure they would find a better president then republican Polk was. During the arguments it was also a election year and change was coming to the United States of America and many thought it was not for the best of the United States government.
With all this happening a new president was on his way to office president Abraham Lincoln a republican who is well know for his radical political career, height, looks and for being one of a very few presidents to be assassinated. Lincoln was not the favorite of the south finding every excuse to keep him for office, just like when Obama was running for office, Judgement was casted about president Lincoln and Many from the south threatened that if Lincoln was president War would going to be started “like Putin in this election.” Although the south made a aggressive approach to keep Lincoln out of office other states did not feel the same as the south which add to the tension on the slavery agreement and This is when fort sumner was attacked that sparked the civil war .
After several disagreement on the whole debate this was becoming more showed their understanding of how this land shall be applied. This began to separate the government in to two a war known as US Civil war. The southern states of United States choose to the its own government succeeding from the union, which named themselves as the Confederate states of America better known as the confederacy or the south, stack with a big army and so many volunteers willing to fight and a win attitude had a advantage over the union. The south intention was to win this war to increase Slavery and inheritance of property and wealth, but the army that was fighting this war was poor whites who owned little to no slaves. I think they were confused on their status in the United States which still goes on today.
The United States remained the same as the union, but newly elected president Lincoln was confused on their intention were fighting this war for reasons that the were still considered the United States of America and did not want to mess up what was yours, because you had to pay to rebuild it.The United States knew that this was a war of greed and mis-deception of southern troops who were going to fight this war and at the end of the war they were going to be just as poor as they were before. The union army had funds and ways connections to withhold thing from the confederate army, which put the union at a advantage. The U.S. choose to fight, which they had to call on 75,000 young soldiers to fight this civil war. With very little changes to the military troops besides losing very important union generals they had to find someone to lead and this were the union was weak. The union was forced to prep their troops on the White House grounds.
This war was a losing battle from the beginning, because no matter who won they must pick up the pieces and once again start over again, saying it does not turn into a war again and this was a first. This was why it was considered to be the first modern war, for the reason of it massive military on both sides. Every soldier that fought in this was a volunteer and was as young as 11 years of age and a male and war at this time had no age limit. Every soldier fought for a specific cause in each and every soldier and it emancipation for the north for the south. This war was going to be that one side had to lose it all in order to win you had to kill their beliefs in order to win this war, in other word you were going to die if you were on the winning side of the war no matter who you were and what your purpose was. When president Lincoln saw that this war was not going to be a win for ether side, he began to find ways to try and end the war. With opportunity for the southern states to come and speak of issues to resolve the issues with not losing, so many life's the south choose not to speak to him. Lincoln issues warning of peace and ways to handle the issues the south still remained silent to Lincoln. To end the war sooner and stop the problems at foot Lincoln choose to issue a real battle that would end the issues if they do not stop fighting . Lincoln issues a warning to free all slaves if this war does not come to a end, but the south believed that they were going to win so they choose to keep fighting. Lincoln seen that there was not dealing with south so he would do something to make sure this would not happen again. Lincoln gave many chances for the confederacy to surrender, but did not get a response for the csa. Lincoln chose to even the battlefield the Confederacy was going to lose what they were fighting for. By development of Emancipation Proclamation law which was ending this war. That is when Lincoln allows all slaves to become free ending slavery, Lincoln when once slaves were free they would fight to never go back and that's what happened many fled the plantation and sighed for the union army. Now they changed the intentions of this war to free every Man from slavery and produce them natural rights and human brings.
After several battles and life's lost it lead the union army and confederate army to Gettysburg, which became the beginning of the defeat of confederate army. A battle broke over a hill with several military. With a obscure from of firing strategies the union was able to get the south to fight on their terms with several referred to flanking and a weird hinging maneuver the union was able to take the hill allowing better position to those who need to leave Gettysburg. After several days of horse play of riding in circles the union was ready to fight devising a plan to fire and just stop fire got in to the head of they are out of ammunition so we can get out of here or they are giving up, ether way it got the confederate army and Robert e Lee to come and which started the fight once again. With same Robert e Lee knew that he was wrong. After several were died and it was a clear lost for the confederate army, Robert e Lee was a broken man with no will to win, but it was not only Robert e Lee who was broken it was the soldiers who lost there will for starvation the union found ways to end their food supply making them weak and will to surrender to get some food.
Although Gettysburg was won and Robert e Lee was quitting, the union always had its eye on Vicksburg. Vicksburg was the only thing stopping the union from owning The Mississippi River, with control with the river they knew that if they gained control the war would be over. With several attempts to win Vicksburg the only one to win was on the most important day in United States days July 4th. Grant was able to break lines and break through the confederate final lines of defense and get to confederate soldiers. After the confederate army surrendered they union army just started to take advantage of the situation taking every one a prisoner knowing the confederate army had no more to control.
After these battles the us had the war won yes there were battles after but for no purpose are leadership.
The confederate states of America now had no force leaving several to die or to the union to pay for what they did what I believe to be treason. The confederate general surrender to the union general Ulysses S Grant and now abide by the newly formed laws of no slavery and writes to every man. After lee surrender their was not much for a fight. Lincoln went to Gettysburg and gave his famous Gettysburg address which everyone who is an America educated has heard it once again claiming the south one again as the united states of America. Many were happy the war was over but several were upset about even today. This becomes what as know as reconstruction. With Lincoln in the first time in his presidency he is able to concentrate on the country and start reconstruction. Which leads to the death of a president during the president visit to a theater he was left unattended that’s when John Wilkes Booth shut up into his private balcony and took out a pistol and shot President Lincoln in Point Blank Range. Lincoln died the next morning which lead vice president Johnson to president the next
day.
Reconstruction was the ideal that republican had in mind to put America as a free and rights for every man. Once again they are arguments again on what is freedom, many saw it you have the right to sign any contract for what ever pay southern politics was sure that was freedom especially that slaves were not educated, so did not know how to read and write and just sign there name according to watch they were told. Northern saw it as many freed slaves were owed money and were allowed to own land and frame as he wanted. It was supposed to be a new beginning for newly freed slaves, but it was not what they considered freed in any way besides in name.
Newly sworn-in President Johnson was a southern political man who said he was against slavery but was for it in secret. During reconstruction Johnson issue patron for all of the confederation army only one was killed and take financial responsibility for the war and apologize to those who were hurt during the war. The confederation was willing as long as Johnson kept appointing officials from the confederation. Now Appointed several confederation military soldiers to important positions in governing the states of slavery. After these men were in power they had to follow the laws of slavery but of course southern politics had found new ways to overcome those laws and take advantage once again still until this day.
