To practice their religion without persecution
Anarchism. It is a political philosophy that usually aims to pursue self-voluntary, governed societies. It does not believe in any central authority and as such laws should be ignored and governments should be eliminated. It believes every man should be equal and individually free.
In 1859 50% of the nations wealth, stocks, bonds, land, cash was in slaves owned by southerners. They lost everything. The north pay less on the south slavery was not finish and they where trying to go to the north for better jobs and freedom the south had force slaves to work.
Hope this helps :)
During that time women had to work because most of the men were off to the war so the government needed people who could work instead of men, because the economy was really bad. Women not only had the opportunity to do the same that the men did but they felt free. They were the men in the house also because without their husband to help them they had to do everything, so they also felt strong
