At this time, the rich were benefitting from all the industrial technologies in which they hired people for low pay. Labor unions were formed by workers to basically demand for better working conditions and better pay. Along with this, some workers demanded benefits for their labor. Labor unions allowed workers to come together and ask for better wages for their hard work they did.

Wearing white robes and trying to restore the white supremacy were confederate veterans known as the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK would gather in groups to reunite and have ceremonies in which the cross was burned to ignite their bodies with the glow of the fire which was their interpretation of the  spirit of christ reaching out to them. The KKK terrorized african-americans due to the fact that they had been freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, which caused the klan to kill african-americans by lynching them where their bodies were to be found; this would allow people to know that the klan existed and it wanted its powers back.

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Kentucky. Lincoln associated himself with the Republican party, and was pushed to take action against the south. Lincoln's main objective was to preserve the union. After seven states seceded, they formed the confederacy, and attacked Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. Lincoln tried to reunify the nation, but was troubled after passing the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves. After setting up a naval blockage, which stopped the Souths trade, the union took over the bordering slave states which allowed the union to have an advantage over the war, ending the war in 1865.
