The war in the south and the “war of Northern Aggression” or “War between the States” is very disappointing, but also eagerly awaited by both sides’ Both North and South made a violent and an Abraham Lincoln and escaped assassination attempts even before his inauguration’

In April 1861 the Confederates fired on South Carolina’s Fort Sumter and the fort was forced to surrender under heavy fire’ Abraham Lincoln a request for volunteers from the 75,000 strong Union recovery and quell the uprising’ Four other Southern states, including Virginia, seceded from the Union and the American Civil War was officially underway’

Military, the North is indeed losing the war until the battle of Antietam was the bloodiest days in American history’ Although technically it is still not a strategic victory for the north, Abraham Lincoln, at least, had enough political power to the right of the Emancipation Proclamation freeing of the slaves freed in the southern states’ Although the Emancipation Proclamation had political motivations, but also contributes to the weakening economy in the South to free slaves were allowed to join the ranks of the Union Army’ At the end of the war in the 179,000 black men served in the army and about 19,000 serving in the Navy’

Lincoln always met with northern opposition to the American Civil War (especially the anti-war Democrats “Copperheads”), but none more dramatically after the Battle of Gettysburg’ While Gettysburg was a major victory for the North, Lincoln had to initiate the war, the second project to replace the staggering 23,000 Union casualties’ Northern residents are far from happy, and even violent’ The clearest example is the project of the City of New York riots’ The riots have been, and continues to deliver and Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg address’

Gettysburg the turning point in the Civil War’ Union victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, Chattanooga and North gives more confidence and Abraham Lincoln appointed General Ulysses S’ Grant, commander of the army’ What lack of grants as a tactical military has been replaced by raw aggression, beating the South through attrition with high casualties on both sides’ Despite initial fears by the Republican Party (though Lincoln was in the context of the National Union Party) and war Democrats, Lincoln easily defeated George B’ McClellan (former Union general appointed twice by Lincoln), in the presidential elections of 1864′

The devastating civil war that ended on April 9, 1865 when General Robert E’ Lee returned to General Ulysses S’ Grant to Appomattox Court House, Virginia’ Lincoln could finally focus most of their efforts to rebuild and begin to repair the deep scars between the North and South’ When asked for comment defeated Confederates should be treated, a Lincoln responded “Let them easily’” The story for other plans, however, that the April 14, 1865 at the Ford Theater in Washington, DC, only one ball stage actor John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln’

Disease was not yet at that time is history, and little knowledge about the causes or means to prevent or control’ The most common diseases are typhoid fever, pneumonia, dysentery and tuberculosis, but other highly infectious diseases were also widespread’ This is because people, especially youths who had been isolated from the larger communities, to come into contact with many others’ Diseases such as measles, mumps and chicken pox are common, and it was not the direct cause of death, but those who have contracted and weakened its ability to fight’

The aftermath of civil war is important, not only with respect to freedom from slavery, but also in its economic importance to the south’ The destruction was widespread, and the loss of so many young people with a relatively small area has a profound impact on their ability to recover’ The social consequences of the freedom of slaves are also important, and it is not surprising that this relatively modern fascinating history of America’
