The civil war was the bloodiest war America has ever been involved in and one of the main reasons it was fought was the argument whether or not slavery should be allowed in the U.S. The north didn't need slaves as much as the south so they saw no need for them but the south needed them for all their farming so they didn't want to give them up. After four hard years of fighting the north won and president…
