In the spring of 1861, decades of simmering tensions between
the northern and southern United States over issues including states' rights
versus federal authority, westward expansion and slavery exploded into the
American Civil War (1861-65). Civil War is one of the most important wars in
the history of USA. The event that triggered war came at Fort Sumter in
Charleston Bay on April 12, 1861. Claiming this United States fort as their
own, the Confederate army on that day opened fire on the federal garrison and
forced it to lower the American flag in surrender. Due to the Civil War,
Freedom has been represented to the country. The website I found contains quick
history about the Civil War in the USA; also, there is a video clip that explains
the Civil War too. I was interested to hear about the Civil War because it was
one of the reasons the USA has started the idea of freedom.
