Why do you think slavery was important to Southerners?
![Page 6: Leading up to civil war](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5557305ed8b42a320c8b4e69/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Southern states favored slavery. Many Southern farmers used slaves to work
on their plantations. States where slavery was legal included:
Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

The South feared that the larger population of the North would pass laws that would hurt the South’s economy.
Examples of these laws were:– Taxing crops the South sold (cotton, tobacco…)– Ending slavery

When the U.S. gained territories they would eventually be divided into states. The U.S. Congress had not decided if slavery would be legal in these new states.

The Civil War begins…
President Lincoln wanted to preserve the union of the states. He said it was wrong for the Confederacy to take control of U.S. forts in the South.
One of these was Fort Sumter in South Carolina. On April 12th, 1861 Confederate soldiers fired
cannons at Fort Sumter. The Union forces surrendered.
The Civil War began.
