Welcome to my Civil War website! This is an eighth grade American history project all about the Civil War and the causes that led up to it. On this website, you'll find information all about the U.S. in the mid 1800s including the issue of slavery, states' rights, and many other events that led up to the war. You'll learn of the battles, people who made a difference,and how they war eventually ended. You'll also hear some familiar names that had a huge part in the war, like President Lincoln. Beginning way back in the 1800s, the Civil War was perhaps the most important war in our country's history. Below is a video that will introduce you to the war.
