Quote: "The Civil War (1861-65) was perhaps the most momentous event in American history."
Paraphrase: When Lincoln was elected president this caused South Carolina, along with many others to secede from the union under his presidency. They created their own, "country" and waged war on the Union. However, after the war the ammendment for the freedom of slaves was produced.
