There were no human rights during the Civil War, as the concept only came about after the Second World War. However, the founding fathers of the US were quite keen on freedoms and "civil" rights, which are strictly speaking different to human rights.
None as the modern concepts of human rights and civil rights did not exist. A slave's master owned the slave like any other property and could do anything he/she chose to the slave at any time even without a reason, including kill the slave as he/she would cattle.
No, she was not. However, she worked hard towards the goal of civil rights and women's rights.

It involves engaging in "slave-trade" which is outlawed by International Law and is addressed by the laws of all 'civilized' nations.
It was a Northern State that was pro slavery and anti Confederacy. It did not view the civil war as a slave issue. It considered the civil war a states rights issue.
If you were black, you your automatically a slave.

George Washington Actually President Lincoln was in office during the civil war in 1861. He wanted to abolish slavery, he was for the Union States (the north). The leader of the civil war for the north was General Ulysses Grant. The leader in the confederates (south) was General Robert E. Lee. The civil war was not necessarily about civil rights, but more about abolition of slavery. The north wanted to end slavery because they thought it was wrong and all that, but also because they did not really need slavery. The north was industrial while the south was mostly farmers and plantations. Civil rights movements did not begin until after the civil war and even then they were not fully in effect until 1950s. The civil war somewhat gave a motive to civil rights, but it was ineffective when it came to rights. FYI George Washington was a slave owner, he did not care too much on the topic of slavery because during his presidency in 1789 no one cared about slave rights or slavery the country just began. He was the first president.
The Civil Right amendments expanded the rights of former slave and free born African Americans to vote and equal treatment. The Civil Rights act allowed the government to set in over the states and enforce the constitution.
