    The document summarizes the key events and causes that led to the outbreak of the American Civil War. There were several major points of contention between the northern and southern states, including the expansion of slavery into new western territories, the Fugitive Slave Act, and a series of court decisions and legislative acts in the 1850s that heightened regional tensions over states' rights and the future of slavery. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, a president who opposed the expansion of slavery, led several southern states to secede and ultimately sparked the Civil War when Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861.
