Causes of the United States Civil War

Before the 1861 the North of  U.S.A and the South  were separated because of slavery ; the South wanted slaves to work in the plantations of tobacco, cotton etc. They were usually black slaves. The north part had a lot of factories and a lot of industries, all the people worked and were paid .

The president Abraham Lincoln was the leader of the North part / the union , the leader of the south part / the confederacy was Jefferson Davis .

The union wanted to stop slavery but south didn't so the civil war started .
