Abstract
This was a United States war that required its citizens to fight and kill their own kind.
The war was between the northern states and the southern states. The northern states had

supported President Lincoln and President Davis that this war lasted four extensive years, killing
more than 600,000 people.
The north and the south were so dedicated to their cause they were willing to keep killing
each other because they believed so deeply that nationality and freedom were worth fighting for.
The Confederacy would come to an end if the South lost the war and all slaves would be free.

the Confederacy would continue to keep slaves.
Finally the North won the war and slavery was abolished in the United States. Sadly, this
did not end the racism against African Americans. Whites discriminated against Blacks for the
