What Led Up To The Results of the war.

Civil War;
President Lincoln;
The president played a major role in this war. From the first battle to the last. After Lincoln was elected, most Southern states seceeded from the Union. This was so, because they were afraid that Lincoln would abolish slavery throughout the country. The Southern states relied on slaves to do their work and the owners could make money off of them. The president wanted the Confederate states to return to the Union but they refused to do so. Lincoln wanted this to prevent from getting into another war. Lincoln was the feud to the Confederates fire.
