=Civil War:= The Civile War was a very bloody war. Many people died from both the North and South. The North (The Union), led by Ulysses S. Grant, didn't want slavery and wanted everyone to be one. The South (The Confederates), led by Robert E. Lee, wanted slavery and wanted to be there own states. Abraham Lincoln later ended slavery by coming up with the Emancipation Proclamation. After they were free the African American ex-slaves rushed to join the Army. Ulysses S. Grant put William Tecumseh Sherman in charge of Union operations in the west while General Grant fought Lee in the east. Abraham Lincoln was than assassinated.
