Cause s As our nation developed after the Revolutionary War, differences between the Northern states and Southern states increased. They had different ideas about taxes, tariffs, internal improvements, States’ Rights versus Federal Rights and of course, slavery.

In a speech given in 1858, Abraham Lincoln remarked that the differences between the North and South “…will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed. ‘A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free.”

November 1860: In a deeply divided election Abraham Lincoln will win the Presidency with only 40% of the popular vote.

South Carolina, fearing that newly elected President Lincoln will interfere with their rights and take away their property (slaves), officially withdrew from the Union. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas secede as well. Together they will form the Confederate States of America.

April 12 th 1861, Confederate forces open fire on Fort Sumter officially beginning the Civil War. The war will last 4 years.
