Soon before the civil war began Sophia found out that Bob’s family was from the northern part of the United States. Sophia said, “ I didn’t know that your family was fighting for the northern side.”
“ Well yes, I was born there so I too, have to fight for the northern side of the war.”
“ I come from the southern side so my family has to fight for the southern part of the war.”
Sophia was scared that if the war began and Bob had to fight in it and her family has to fight in the war to he might get killed in the war. Torn Families The civil War.

Sophia was scared that if the war began and Bob had to fight in it and her family has to fight in the war to he might get killed in the war. The civil war began because slaves and other people wanted freedom but didn’t have any so, sure enough, the war began and people were fighting. People’s slaves were also fighting so they can get freedom the northern and the southern fought in the war. The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. The event that triggered war came at Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay on April 12, 1861. The five causes of the civil war include Industry vs. Farming,
States' Rights, The idea of states' rights was not new to the Civil War, Expansion, Slavery, Bleeding Kansas, Abraham Lincoln, Secession, Activities. Lincoln started the civil war because Lincoln presided over the Union victory in the American Civil War, which dominated his presidency. Bob and Sophia sat and watched the news for a while. Robert was asleep and his brother James was up. He heard all about the news and what his parents were talking about. He heard about the war but he could not figure out what was called and he tried so hard to remember what it was called but when he tried to think super hard he could not do it. The next day was a Tuesday and James and Robert were eating breakfast with his family. The two children made their way to the school they did not live that far from the school they lived right across the street so they got some extra sleep. RING! The bell has just rung and the kids were making their way to their classes. First, up English then, science now history, then P.E Lunch a computer elective and now 8th-period MATH. James was paying attention and all of a sudden right when he was supposed to pay close attention in his class he remembered that the war was called but then he forgot what he did remember was civil something but he tried to figure it out then it came to him it was called the civil war. He remembered what was called and he was very proud of himself but he thought civil war is like a battle then he said: “ is a battle kind of like a fight, wait I think that it is right?”
“Yes, James a battle is like a fight in fact it is exactly the same.”
“Alright Robert I know you know a lot but I was just asking a simple question because I got confused because I was trying to do my math work and do not tell mom or dad this but I was up all night until mom or dad came upstairs to come to bed but I was watching well not watching but listening to the news. As the 2 brothers walked home from school and the children were talking and discussing math homework that they were assigned to but James wondered if when the war broke out what will they do what their parents do and how would they solve the problem. James wondered and whispered to Robert “there is going to be a war what do you think mom and dad do and what would they do with us. The 2 children got home and their parents were there waiting for them to greet them and to ask what would they like for dinner or what do they want dessert. That always happens when they get home. The boys got home and they were waiting for the door to open and Sophia said “ So what do you two want for dinner and what do you want for dessert I was thinking that it will be a chocolate cake. The family ate their dinner and it was spaghetti of course James chose it because that was his favorite. The news was on and Bob and Sophia were watching the news and it said the war will start in three weeks. James What is awake to hear the information on the news and woke up his brother Robert.
