Quotation from: The Beginner's American History

Written by: D.H. Montgomery


The main reason why so many of the people of the South wished to
withdraw from the United States was that little by little the North
and the South had become like two different countries.


At the time of the Revolution, when we broke away from the rule of
England, every one of the states held negro slaves; but in the course
of eighty years a great change had taken place. The negroes at the
North had become free, but those of the South still remained slaves.
Now this difference in the way of doing work made it impossible for
the North and the South to agree about many things.
