Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on american civil war description Paper must be at least 2500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! "Defeat and emancipation destroyed the slave society of the Old South, and gave birth to a different southern society." (Roark, et al. Page 370). "All Americans experienced the crucible of war. but the war affected no group more than the four million African Americans who saw its beginning as slaves and emerged as free people" (Roark, et al. page 370). "Abraham Lincoln faced the worst crisis in the history of the nation: the threat of disunion. He revealed his strategy on March 4, 1861, in his inaugural address, firm yet conciliatory. First, he vowed to avoid any action that would push the Upper South out of the Union. second, he reassured the Lower South that the Republicans would not abolish slavery. (Roark, et al. Page 370)

Always, Lincoln denied the right of secession and upheld Union. "His counterpart, Jefferson Davis, however, fully intended to establish the Confederate States of America as an independent republic." (Roark, et al. Page 370). "To achieve permanence, Davis had to sustain the secession fever that had carried the Lower South out of the Union" and add new stars to the Confederate flag." (Roark, et al. page 371). However, both wanted to achieve their objectives peacefully. but, as Lincoln later observed, "both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish." (Roark, et al. page 371). Masterfully, Lincoln thus shifted the fateful decision of war or peace to Davis." (Roark, et al. page 371). "On April 9, 1861, Davis and his Cabinet met to consider the situation in Charleston harbor. Territorial integrity of the Confederacy demanded the end of the federal presence, Davis argued, but his secretary of State Robert Toombs of Georgia pleaded against military action. Davis rejected Toombs' prophecy and sent word to Confederate troops in Charleston to take the fort. Bombardment reduced the fort to rubble.
