Content: Movement for the abolition of slavery
A strong movement for the abolition of slavery began in the north. It called for the repeal of the controversial Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 (this act had mandated the return of runaway slaves to their masters). 4. The fear of reforms by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party
The immediate cause of the civil war was the American Presidential election in which the Republican Party candidate, Abraham Lincoln, won (1860). While Abraham Lincoln stood for freedom of slaves, the Democratic candidate Stephan Arnold Douglas wanted slavery to continue. The course of the American Civil War
Seven southern states declared their secession from the Union and established a Southern government – the Confederate States of America on February 9, 1861. The Confederacy adopted its own Constitution. Jefferson Davis was its President. War broke out in April 1861 when the Confederates attacked a U.S. fortress (Fort Sumter) at South Carolina. 4 more states joined the Confederacy, making the total number of states 11.
