  1. The American Civil War By Ana Lucia Tapia and Nuria

  2. When started and when finished the American Civil War: • The American Civil War started on 12 April 1861. • This war finally ended on 9 April 1865.

  3. Background: After the disputed election of 1876 resulted in the end of Reconstruction, Whites in the South regained political control of the region, after mounting intimidation and violence in the elections. Systematic disfranchisement of African Americans took place in Southern states from 1890 to 1908 and lasted until national civil rights legislation was passed in the mid-1960s. For more than 60 years, for example, blacks in the South were not able to elect anyone to represent their interests in Congress or local government. During this period, the white-dominated Democratic Party regained political control over the South. The Republican Party—the "party of Lincoln"—which had been the party that most blacks belonged to, shrank to insignificance as black voter registration was suppressed. By the early 20th century, almost all elected officials in the South were Democrats. During the same time as African Americans were being disfranchised, white Democrats imposed racial segregation by law. Violence against blacks increased. The system of overt, state-sanctioned racial discrimination and oppression that emerged out of the post-Reconstruction South became known as the "Jim Crown¨ system. It remained virtually intact into the early 1950s. Thus, the early 20th century is a period often referred to as the "nadir of American race relations¨ . While problems and civil rights violations were most intense in the South, social tensions affected African Americans in other regions as well.

  4. Causes of the war: • Economic and social differences between the North and the South. • States versus federal rights. • The fight between Slave and Non-Slave State Proponents. • Growth of the Abolition Movement. • The election of Abraham lincoln.
