Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis. In so doing he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.

1861: American Civil War
There are types of declaration of war. One of them is war of Independence by the Southern, war of Rebellion by the Northern, and war of Succession.

The reason for war of Succession is because the Southern States called Confederation wanted to separated themselves from the USA.

The War Progress
At the first stage of the war, the South was stranger.

They were supported by British empire and French army because they wanted to get raw materials (cotton) from the South.

What did the North do to counter this?
The North blocked the trading routes on the sea, to stop trading activities of the South.

1863
Mr. Lincoln declared The Emancipation Proclamation, because:

-Many slaves ran away from their merchantes to support the Army of North.

-No more slavery practises in the U.S.
