SECESSÃO
In the middle of the century XIX the nation of North America tried a strong development, for those years, they
already possessed about 50.0000 km of strong lines and they were the largest producing of wheat, rice, cotton and they found great oil wells in the state of Pennsylvania.
It was on this time that had an abrupt stop in full economic evolution; the war of SECESSION (separation of the states of the north to the of the south)
The slavery and the economic and social interests were the main reasons.
To the states of the North, that lived of the free work and with an economy in the trade and in its industry
It was convenient a politics of having imposed with protections in favor of its productions (tariffs discharges) and against the foreign competition; but to the states of the South, where the main source of income was in the lavouras and where was used the arms slaves, they didn''t suit the same commercial politics, but yes the one of the free trade, that would facilitate the cotton export and of sugar.
The slavery was discord cause because the South needed slave and the propaganda for the abolition it was more and more strong
and Abrahan Lincoln, an in favor of the abolition of the slavery, president was chosen. The states of the South, finding for right began leaving of the American Union, the first went to Carolina of the South, and soon other ,para then form Estados Confederates'' Republic, they chose Jefferson Davis as president and for capital they chose Richmond capital ,então of the state of Virginia.
President Lincoln didn''t recognize the right of SECESSION. And in 1861 he/she had beginning the war; the fight was bloody, the federal of the North, commanded by general Ulisses Simpson Grant had the advantage in the number of soldiers, the population was of more than 20 million people while the one of the south was of 10 million inhabitants, being almost 7 million slaves, the North still had the support of the industries for weapons and ammunition.
The Confederates had in its command General Robert Lee, that got small victories in the beginning but with serious losses and that nothing advanced, therefore the Federal ones blocked the exits of its productions causing great economic difficulties then and only after 4 years of fights with about 500 thousand victims, to April 9, 1865 in the capital of the Confederates, the surrender of the states of the South was signed by General Lee.
The proclamation of the slavery had given him 2 years before the end of the war, for a proclamation of Lincoln and soon to the end of the war it was abolished the slavery in all the Estados Americanos through an amendment. Escreva sua tradução aqui..
