The War Between the States was fought between Southern slave states and the United States federal government. The American Civil War was waged for four years starting in 1861 to 1865; Starting in April 1861. Southern states formed a group called the Confederacy, which went against the beliefs of the Union. Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States and Abraham Lincoln had different views on slavery which led to this war as Lincoln believed that all slaves should be set free and he recommended the restoration of the Union.
Slavery had a significant impact on society in a moral and economical aspect. The money had 'strengthened the American economy in the north and south.' After slavery was abolished America became a more advanced industrial society.
