Eleven Southern states have left the Union to form the Confederacy, and Abraham Lincoln-newly elected president-is staring at the country's biggest crisis yet. The main reason A fight over slavery, states' rights, and the future of the nation.The first shots are fired at Fort Sumter in South Carolina, and suddenly it's full-scale war. The Union (North) and Confederacy (South) battle for four long, bloody years. The war isn't just fought by soldiers-families, farmers, and even kids are caught in the middle. Railroads carry supplies, women run farms and factories, and spies sneak behind enemy lines.And yes, some moments feel straight out of a movie-like a Confederate general nicknamed 'Stonewall' because he stood his ground, or a Union soldier who rescued a chicken in the middle of a battlefield and kept it as a mascot.Ready to Start Learning Without Yawning Then Scroll to the Top of This Page and Click 'Add to Cart' Now!And that's not all!
