UNITED STATES: BIRTH OF A NEW POWER
In the 19th century, there was a great territorial expansion in the US.

The few surviving natives were confined in reservations.
While southern states were in favor of slavery, northern ones had abolished it.
Lincoln was made president in 1860
11 southern states seceded and made into a confederacy.
These states were considered rebellious, which led to the American Civil War (1861-1865)
The northern states won, abolishing slavery in the whole country.
Black people won some rights, and southern states applied a policy of racial segregation.
