Introduction
In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected the very first Republican president of the United States of America. He declared that the "Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free...", meaning that we could not function as a whole country with half of the states supporting slavery and the other half working to abolish it. Following his election, several states began to secede from the United States. Thus, two separate nations are formed: The Union states of the North, led by President Abraham Lincoln, and The Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as their president.
The year is 1961 in Charlston, South Carolina. Early in the morning on the 12th of April, you are awoken by fifty thundering blasts from a cannon near Fort Sumter. With this attack led by the Confederate, the Civil War begins.
