The causes of the Civil War were complex and multifaceted, but at its core was the issue of slavery. In the decades leading up to the war, the debate over slavery had intensified, with abolitionists in the North demanding its end and Southerners defending its continuation.

By the 1860 presidential election, the country was deeply divided on the issue of slavery. The election of Abraham Lincoln, a staunch opponent of slavery, sent shockwaves through the South and led to the secession of seven slave states.

The secession of these states, and the firing on Fort Sumter in April 1861, marked the beginning of the Civil War. The Union and the Confederacy, as the two sides became known, engaged in a bloody and protracted conflict that would ultimately claim the lives of over 600,000 Americans.

The war was fought on multiple fronts, from the rolling hills of Virginia to the swamps of Louisiana. Some of the most notable battles of the war include the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Vicksburg, and the Battle of Atlanta.

The Union ultimately prevailed in the Civil War, and slavery was abolished through the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The war had a profound impact on the United States, and its legacy can still be felt today.
