The Civil War began on April 12, 1861 and lasted until 1865, taking over 600,000 American lives. It was fought between the Union (northern) states and the Confederate (southern) states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. Eleven southern states seceded from the United States after Abraham Lincoln was elected president, forming the Confederate States of America. The war began when Confederate forces fired on Union troops at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Ultimately, the Union prevailed, abolishing slavery and reuniting the country.

START OF CIVIL WARJanuary 1861Abraham Lincoln, a known opponent of slavery, was elected president. Calling a state convention, the delegates voted to remove 11 states from the United States of America. These eleven states eventually formed the Confederate States of America. February 1861The seven seceding states created the Confederate Constitution, a document similar to the United States Constitution, but with greater stress on the autonomy of each state. Jefferson Davis was named provisional presidentFebruary 1861When former President Buchanan refused to surrender southern federal forts to the eleven states, southern state troops seized them. South Carolina troops repulsed a ship trying to reach federal forces in the fort and was forced to return to New YorkMarch 1861Lincoln said he had no plans to end slavery in places where it already existed, but he said he would not accept secession. He hoped to resolve the crisis without warfare. April 1861When President Lincoln planned to send supplies to Fort Sumter, he alerted the state, attempting to avoid hostilities. South Carolina feared a trick and the commander of the fort was asked to surrender. He only offered to surrender after he exhausted his supplies. His offer was rejected and the Civil War began

HOW DOES THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT RELATE TO THE NOVELBoth Civil Rights Movement and the novel are similarCivil Rights Movement refers to giving everybody equal rights so that no race will be treated as the lesser kindIn the novel, Negros are discriminated as they are dark-skinned, thus when a white man falsely accuse Tom Robinson, a negro, of raping his daughter, he has to go to jail even though he did not commit the crime
