The American Civil War started on April 12, 1861 when confederates attacked Fort Sumpter. This lead to the beginning of the war between the Confederates and the Yankees, better known as Northerners. This war was the most deadliest in American history, causing 620,000 casualties. One of the most famous people in US history, Abraham Lincoln, was the American president at the time. The start over the war was a common thing back then, slavery.There are many famous battles, such as the Battle of Bull Run, and the Battle of Antiedam. Many battles were won by both sides, but the deciding factor was the numbers. The Northerners outnumbered the South by alot. This was a key to success. The war ended april 9, 1865. When the war was over, slavery was ended. This did not stop racial hate though, and through out the years to come, there was alot of hate.
