There are problems in our country. The people in the north live in towns, but in the South they live on plantation and own slaves. The plantation owners want to keep their slaves, but the people in the north want to abolish slavery. They say it is cruel. Abraham Lincoln is now the president of the USA. He wants to end slavery. The people in the South want to leave the Union and have their own nation, called the Confederate States of America or the Confederacy.

The south has got their Confederacy. It´s got 11 states now. Richmond, in Virginia is the capital. They think they are a different Nation from the Union in the North. Confederate soldiers attacked a union fort called Fort Sumter yesterday. So now, we're at war! I'm very frightened

This war is terrible! Thousands of people are dead. Both the people in the North and the South are suffering. The war can't continue for long because the Confederates are losing. They have got fewer soldiers than the Union.

Today, General Robert E. Lee, the Confederate army leader, surrended to General Ulysses Grant, the Union army leader. I can't believe it! It's the end of the war!But more than 600000 Americans are dead. Now the slaves are free and the country is one nation. But we´ll neverbe the same again!
