The Civil War
By the 1850s, many people in the United States wanted slavery to end. However, Southern plantations still depended on it. Many Southerners believed that each state or region should make its own decision about slavery. In 1861, conflicts between Northern and Southern states led to the Civil War. In a civil war, groups of people in the same country fight each other.
