Confederate States of America
Los once estados norteamericanos, Carolina del Norte y del Sur, Misisipi, Florida, Georgia, Luisiana, Alabama, Tejas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, que se apartaron de la Unión en 1861, provocando el comienzo de la Guerra de Secesión Civil War (en Estados Unidos).
Civil War (en Estados Unidos) Info
Civil War (en Estados Unidos)
La Guerra de Secesión (1861-1865), entre los estados del norte y los del sur de EEUU, se inició principalmente a raíz del problema de los esclavos. Abraham Lincoln, elegido presidente en 1860, se oponía a la esclavitud, pero sostenía que no le pondría fin. Once estados del sur, donde la economía agrícola dependía del trabajo de los esclavos, no lo creyeron así y en 1861 formaron los Confederate States of America, a menudo llamada The Confederacy (La Confederación) para separarse de la Unión. La Guerra estalló el 12 de abril. Al rendirse la Confederación el 9 de abril de 1865 habían muerto 620.000 personas. Lincoln fue asesinado cinco días más tarde. Se abolió la esclavitud y en 1870, posteriores enmiendas a la Constitución otorgaron a los negros, al menos en teoría, los mismos derechos que los blancos.
