In April 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president by winning the votes from all the free states. Abraham Lincoln did not support slavery and tried to get it abolished. He started the Emancipation Proclamation that tried to stop slavery. This lead to an uproar in the states that were slave supporters. After time of frustration and animosity, on April 12, 1861 the battle began with the first gun shot in Fort Sumter. Little did everyone know that this would result in the deadliest, bloodiest war ever fought. More people died in the Civil War than in WWI and WWII. After five years of fighting on April 9, 1865 Lee surrendered. Slavery was ended in America and the South re-joined the Union.
