The Civil War was a war between states. It lasted four years (1861-1865). The Civil War was fought in Southern Pennsylvania, but most of it took place in Virginia and Tennessee. Of course the Civil War wasn't easy. Soldiers had to deal with bad weather, hunger, and let's not forget to mention that a lot of them died in this war. One of the main reasons the Civil War happened was the issue with slavery. The Southern states wanted to get rid of any laws that would ruin the South being able to keep slaves and take them where ever they wanted. South wanted to take slavery over to the Western territories, but North wanted to stay free of slaves and continue on with white labor. So when Abraham Lincoln was elected without not one single vote from the Southern electoral vote, this made them feel left out of the political system, which turned into the Civil War. Though many people lost their lives, the United States ended up beating the Confederate States. Which led to the freedom of millions of enslaved Americans. During the Civil War women had a huge role on and off the battlefield. Women helped the soldiers, they provided medical care and some women even were brave enough to work as spies, and even bigger surprise some women were even soldiers helping fight in the Civil War. The Civil War was a BIG thing to happen in today's history, knowing that so many people put their lives on the line to make sure that all people were free and treated the same. It makes you wonder, what if these brave men AND women never stepped up and decided it was time for a change? What would life be like today?
