The War of Secession was a war in the United States from 1861 to 1865. As a result of a historic controversy over slavery, the war broke out in April 1861, when the forces of the Confederate States of America attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after President Lincoln took office. The nationalists of the Union proclaimed allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. They faced secessionists from the Confederate States, who defended the rights of states to slavery.
