NAME:

The War of Secession (1861-1865)

“There had to be a fight (...). Southern and northern states worked differently, thought differently, lived differently. In the north small-scale farming, shipping, growing manufactures, all produced by white labor; in the south there was monoculture with black work. (…) This struggle dragged on for 60 years, and finally broke out with civil war.”

(HUBERMANN, Leo. "History of the Wealth of the United States." Ed. São Paulo: 1983.)
