    The main reason for the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 was the conflict around the powers of the states and the powers of the federal government. Though slavery was a relevant issue, it was only until the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 by president A. Lincoln that slavery, or more precisely, the liberation of million of slaves, became the main motive of the war.
