=The South=

During the Civil War the United States were split into two sections The North and The South.

The South believed that they needed slavery because without it they're economy would crumble. To an extent the South may have been right. Slavery took care of everything in the south unpaid slaves picked cotton cooked meals helped around the home and a little bit of everything else.

The South fought in the Civil War because the new president Abraham Lincoln vowed to abolish slavery. The North supported this fully and acted with Lincoln to get rid slavery by creating slave free states.

The South believed that they'd have to fight in the war or just let they're entire lives change. Ironically however fighting in the war changed their lives anyway and losing the war crippled the South incredibly and if the Northern states hadn't help the South after the war they probably would've rebelled into another war
