The American Civil War occurred in 1861–1865, also known as the War Between the States. American Civil War had an effect on the lives of slaves. First slaves arrived in America in 1619. The only way to find freedom was Underground Railway. This method was for northerners to avoid them slavery and find a place to live in states of Canada. "Black" ones were usually the ones who helped with the Underground Railroad. It is believed that about 50.000 to 100.000 people used the Underground Railroad to get freedom. The people in The North did not need slavery as much as South did. Because South grew cotton and needed a lot of people but for very little or even no money. Freedom of the slaves happened when were accepted Emancipation Proclamination. When the thirteenth Amendment banned slavery in the United States. They sad neither slavery nor involuntary bondage should exist in the United States. I personally liked the actions of General who was the 18th President of the United States and military commander. In the battle of Chattanooga he could unblock the city, and then break army of the Braga. I disliked the words of Jefferson Davis and senators who said in their territory slavery will exist "ever"
