The American Civil War?\n\nThe North and The South.\n\nI believe Kentucky and Mizzou were neutral.  I also think California was in the south (not sure).\n\nEDIT:\n\nThe American Civil war was NOT fought because the south wanted slavery and the North did not.  The American Civil War was fought because the South believed they were not getting a fair shake and decided to break away from the union.  Lincoln said that was illegal and we fought a war to keep our nation whole.\n\nAbolishing slavery was a really great side effect of the war.  BTW, the Emancipation Proclomation did not free all slaves.  It only freed the slaves in states rebelling against the North.  Therefore the slave states that did not secede and fight in the CSA still had legal slavery.

The Battle of Franklin- it broke the back of the Confederacy and allowed the Union to gain the upper hand and concerted on one front.\n\nThe reelection of Lincoln- If he had not been reelected General McClellan would have sued for peace.\n\nThe Battle of Five Forks it allowed Petersburg to fall and made Lee leave the trenches.\n\nThe failure of France and England to intercede on behalf of the South, like Iraqi the wealthiest 10 % of the population cause and keep the war going, the South were winning to give up slavery but not with someone demanding it.\n\nThe technology advancements such as the submarine, rifled muskets, balloonist, telegraph which coincides with the loss of manpower in the South forcing after the War innovations to improve labor.\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People.

This is going to be just a quick summary...\nFor the most part, it was not all about slavery. The states North of the Mason-Dixon line were content with slavery in the South...the problem was the "Westward Expansion." The North wanted the new states to be free from slavery, whereas the South wanted those states to be open to slavery. There were a few compromises made years before the actual war began, however, those obviously did not work. On December 20, 1860, South Carolina announced it's leave from the Union...Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas followed. \nOn February 4th, 1861, the Confederate States of America was formed with Jefferson Davis as the president. A new constitution was drawn up. Key differences were:\n*The president and vice president were elected for six year terms whereas the North had only four years. \n*The protection of slavery in new territories was given. \n*No slave trade with Africa\n*President Davis could take a loan for $15 million for the creation of a military force of 100,000. \nPresident Davis was inaugurated February 18, 1861. \n\nPresident Lincoln for the Union said, "Physically speaking, we cannot separate. We cannot remove our respective sections from each other, nor build an impassable wall between them. A husband and wife may be divorced and go out of the presence and beyond the reach of each other, but the different parts of our country cannot do this. They cannot but remain face and face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them. Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after seperation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old quesetions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you. In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to 'preserve, protect, and defend' it..." (Page 8)\nThe first shots of the Civil War were fired on April 12th, 1861 at Ft. Sumter, South Carolina. The fight lasted for thirty-four hours, and ended by the North surrendering. The war continued until April of 1865. \nAfter it was all said and done, most of the South was destroyed and the loss of lives on both ends, are up to this day, only an estimate (over 100,000). It is said, the number of Yanks and Rebels who died are greater than the loss of American lives in both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietiman War...all combined.\n\nI hope this has been helpful to you.

Lincoln asked them to abolish slavery. The Southern Sates did not agree as that would mean losing their entire workforce which worked in their plantations and farms and were the source of their wealth and economy.\n\nFaced with no choice, the Southern States left, what followed was the Civil War.

The U.S. Civil War was the eventual impact of States Rights on the North and South.\n\nThe South claimed that slavery was a State rights issue, although the war was more about States rights than slavery.  The South seceded due to State rights.

Disadvantages to the North in the civil war?\n\nWell, the North had all the money and all the ammunition and all the factories. Their population was more than double that of the South. The North had highways, canals & railroads. The Union had a Navy.\n\nSo it was really the South that was in dire straights from the onset of the war.\n\nBut the South held a few advantages. They were able to fight on their home turf and it could win the war simply by continuing to exist after the hostilities ended. The South also had a military tradition that encouraged young men to serve in the armed forces or attend a military school; many had served the U.S. military prior to the Civil War, only to resign and fight for their states and family. In addition, the South had the leadership of great commanders, including Robert E Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson.

The civil war was fought to keep the sovereignty of the states intact. The Confederacy fought for their freedom from the Union… and to KEEP slavery.

The causes of the war were a complex series of events, including slavery, that began long before the first shot was fired. Competing nationalisms, political turmoil, the definition of freedom, the preservation of the Union, the fate of slavery and the structure of our society and economy could all be listed as significant contributing factors in America's bloodiest conflict.\n\nFor more info visit the link below.\n\nAll the best!

My understanding was that the election directly caused the start of secession of states in the South from the union since Lincoln was known for his stand on slavery. The crisis was already at a boiling point by that time already due to non-handling/concessions on slavery of previous administrations.
