"In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing administration of President James Buchanan and Lincoln's incoming administration rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion"- Wikipedia states about commander and chief Abraham Lincoln
The whole thing started on April 12, 1861. There were Blue Jackets and Red Jackets, Confederates vs. The Union, or The North vs. The South, but no matter how it was it was war. Robert E. Lee was commander of the confederates. William Tecumseh Sherman was the leader of the Union.
"The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars in human history."- Wikipedia. "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free..."- Abraham Lincoln.

In conclusion, it was sad. People died. We Have freedom today. the end.
