Historical Context: The American Civil War began on April 12, 1861 when the Confederates bombarded Fort Sumter in South Carolina. The central conflict of the war was over the expansion of slavery into western territories or prohibition from doing it. When Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election, seven Confederate slave states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederacy.
