The Civil War happened from 1861 to 1865. The North won, which kept the United States together and ended slavery. But, many people died in this war—about 625,000. It started because the free and slave states disagreed about whether the national government could stop slavery in new areas that were not yet states. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln became president. He was from the Republican party and said he wouldn't allow slavery in these new places. Then, seven Southern states where slavery was legal formed a new country called the Confederate States of America. By the end of 1861, millions of armed men from Virginia to Missouri fought for this, which came to be recognized as the Civil War.
