The document discusses the causes and early events of the American Civil War. It addresses three long-term causes: the system of slavery, regionalism between the North and South, and states' rights. Three short-term causes that led to the war are also identified: the election of Abraham Lincoln, the secession of South Carolina from the Union, and the firing on Fort Sumter in South Carolina by Confederate forces. The strategies of the North and South during the early part of the war are briefly described, including the Battle of Bull Run which was an early Confederate victory.
