“These two names are important in the suppression of slavery. One was a writer, Harriet Beecher Stowe. In 1857 she published "Uncle Tom’s cabin", showing how slavery meant cruelty. The second name was Abraham Lincoln, a poor boy who studied hard and gained political power. He had always thought of slavery as an evil. The slavery question was one of the causes of the Civil War. The second cause derived from it: the right or not of Southern States to leave the Union of States, govern themselves and keep their slaves. In 1861, the Southern States declared that they were no-longer part of the Union. Abraham Lincoln was now President. He did everything he could by diplomatic means to avoid war, but in April 1861 the Southern States fired the shots. The twenty-three Northern, technically advanced States with a population of nine million people, armed with courage but with few arms and ammunition, and no system of railways to move their troops. The end was inevitable: in 1865 the South surrendered. In his hour of victory, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a madman. He had been one of the greatest men in history. “
