In slavery system once a owner own a slave ,he had the direct right on him. Own could do anything to him. There was no right of a slave. Slaves worked for hours and days without any payment.
If a slave made any kind of mistake ,he was punished with hunter. It was very strange that no one from the congress representative stand against this slavery system.
Man, woman and children were slaughtered for slavery openly. Because of single party system there was no one in support of slaves. After time there were several compromises made ,that southern part was slave state and northern part was totally free from this curse.
But the war situation was raised from the violation of those compromise. From the violation of Kansas and Nebraska to the violation of the Missouri alignment the anti slavery movement was started. This movement was like a fire of jungle and soon spread to other states. Yet some other wood was to be added.
From this hatred in the year of 1854 the Republican party was born. Abraham Lincoln was the 1st leader of this party. In this time period supreme court of America made controversial statement against the slaves. This was enough for the revolution. From here Abraham Lincoln had a great role to play. As he was a lawyer ,he had a great sense on how to talk with great wordings in crucial situations.

He made his campaign and debt for the abolishment of slavery system. But the other leader was known that if Lincoln elected as the president he must abolish the system. In 1860 another party raised named as Anti Slavery Party.
