Taniyah Waters · Answer 2

The civil War was a fought by 2 sides, the Confederacy and the Union. At the time, Abraham Lincoln was the President, and tried to reunite the US. When this failed, he declared war to bring the succeeded states back. After many brutal battles, the Confederate states lost, and were brought back to the Union. When the war ended, so did slavery. He passed the Emancipation Proclamation, banning slavery all over the US. In doing so, John Wilkes Booth assassinated him while he was watching a play. He was the 16th president, and the war lasted from 1861-1865. There you go. Be generous and give brainliest.
