The United States was divided into the Confederate forces, and the Union. Eleven southern slave states declared their withdrawing from the United States, and formed the Confederacy, led by Jefferson Davis. The Confederacy fought against the Union, which was supported by all the free states. The North had almost 90 percent of the nation's Factories and double the miles of railroads. The Union tried to cut Confederate trade with the world, called the Union blockade. The Fifteenth Amendment gave everyone the right to vote.=====
