The compromise of 1850 was a deal between the north and south. The compromise was made by Henry Clay. California was made a free state and Texas gave itself to New Mexico. The compromise calmed the feuds over slave and free states for a little however the fugitive slave act still being around only made the north still be angry.

The civil war unofficially began when Lincoln won the election of 1860. This caused SC and other states to sucede from the union. The war officially began at the fight of Fort Sumter. Antietam was the bloodiest battle in the civil war. Gettysburg, Vicksburg and Sherman's March to the sea are the three most key battles and events in the war which were all won by the union and would lead to the union winning the war. The south had advantages such as a will to defend their homes and knowledge of the land whre many battles were fought. However the north had more people and better industrial systems and railroads but the south had better generals. The north used the Anaconda plan to choke out the souths ability to get resources by using a blockade. Also total war which was a strategy to completely burn the south. The emancipation proclamation gave the union a will to fight for freeing the slaves.

Reconstruction was the process of mending the country back together after the civil war. The 13th amendment ended slavery and the 14th gave black men the right to vote and the 15th amendment gave women's rights. Lincoln's plan was a 10% plan to gradually bring the south back into the country. The radical republicans wanted the south to be brought back in radically and with military force. The solid south was the southerners reaction to the federal government trying to give black people rights. The solid south or Dixie crats were the democrats of the south. Reconstruction ended with the federal government deciding to leave the south alone.
