Important events about Civil War

The Compromise of 1850 and the Figurative Slave Act
During that time there was a hesitation about slavery. People didnt know if they should allow slavery or if it was a free land or should the citizens choose what they wanted. There slaves were very needed in many states such as California since there was gold there. The Slaves had no rights and it made them angry and so they wanted to rebel.
THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT
There was a formation of two clans since the citizens were disagreeing on weather or not there should be slaves. This is important since there was a war between the two clans.
THE ELECTIONS OF 1860 BRINGS ABRAHAM LINCOLN TO THE WHITE HOUSE
Abraham Lincoln was against Slavery. He ran for president twice and won the second time. There was a conflict in the United States because Abraham Lincoln was against slavery so the people that were for slavery rebelled. This is what lead to the civil war.
