    1. American Civil War


    Was a civil war in the United States of America between the central government (Unionists) and the secessionist Confederate States of America that occupied the southern States. The main cause of the war was the different economic system of the northern and southern states: the northern states were industrialized and had abolished slavery, whereas the southern states relied on slavery to run its plantation agriculture based economy. At the end of the war the Union occupied the southern states and slavery was abolished. .
