HISTORY

MANIFEST DESTINY

American Civil War took place between the North states ( The Union) and the South (the Confederacy).
They fought over whether slavery should be legal.
 The US Civil War is from 1861-1865.
Slavery was abolished in 1833 in all the British colonies.
The North  and the South disagreed about slavery.
The South liked slavery because the work was done for free and they did not have to pay their workers. They felt their economy depended on slavery.
The North disliked slavery because;
1. Southern states could sell their products a lot cheaper than they could.
2. Slavery was wrong. It was wrong to exploit or take advantage of someone for one's own benefit.

BNA supported the Confederacy during the Civil War. The Union was worried about attacks from the borders of BNA.
Confederate agents used Montreal and Toronto to plot against the Union.
The Union was more powerful than the Confederacy.

Manifest Destiny- the belief that the US had a duty to take over the ALL of North America.
