Trevor-1 I learned about the civil war and what caused it to happen.It all started over slavery,the election of Abraham Lincoln,and the states differences.Then the civil war started.The south wanted slavery to be every where ,but the north wanted everybody to be free .The south disagreed with north's idea. So they went to war.the south started letting people as young as 10 join. They thought this would help them,but it didn't help them.

Alexis.A -1 There were many causes of the civil war,but the main cause was slavery. The south and the north had many differences. The south used slaves to harvest their crops,but the north disagreed with the idea. Soon, the south had four million working slaves! By the 1800's,trading slaves was against the law ,but slaves that were already owned could work. The north grew angry. They wanted slavery to stop forever. Years later Abraham Lincoln became president of the U.S. He was also against slavery which made the south furious. So, seven southern states seceded or left and formed the confederate states. Once the south became the confederate states the north became the union states. On April 12, 1861 the north and the south battled at Fort Sumter. The confederate states won and the war begun.

Karla -1 The main thing that caused the civil war was slavery. Then that's when the west were slave owners .The west had about 22,000 slaves the north didn't like it .Finally when Abraham Lincoln became president of the U.S.A he had made a speech. The speech was that. He wanted slavery to end forever. Then when the north heard what Abraham Lincoln had said everybody was happy expect for the west the didn't want slavery to end the west started laughing ,and making fun of Abraham Lincoln%Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0. That's when the west started getting mad at Abraham Lincoln. When the west grew angryer at ,him that's when the civil war started, and slavery had ended."

Joseph-2 Social Studies book Abraham Lincoln's election was a huge cause of the of the civil war.He had said that if he was elected he would not let any other state have slaves.The southern states grew angry at Lincoln and seceded or left the country.Lincoln wanted the southern states to com back but the southern did not like the idea and attacked fort Sumter and the civil war began.
