Q: What were some cultural, economic and political situations that were going on?
A: One huge situation that went on was when the South seceded from the North and created The Confederate States of America. This all started when Abraham Lincoln was elected as president in 1960. Slavery was abolished and the South did not like this at all. The South thought that the U.S. government was gaining too much control. The whites in the South wanted slavery and they did not want the North to control them. The South then decided to secede or leave the United States of America. The northern sates were called the Union. This is a large reason why the Civil War began. Let’s see. There was a lot of farming going on in the United States. When the Industrial Revolution came along, we started seeing a lot more factories. The production rates went way up and the prices went way down.

I can't imagine the civil issues the America's had that would be big enough to start a war. I went through the Industrial Revolution in France. I too witnessed the makings of more factories and lessening of farming.
