The 1860s were an extremely turbulent decade with numerous cultural, social, and political upheavals in Europe and America. The abolition of slavery in America led to the breakdown of the Atlantic slave trade, which was already suffering from the abolition of slavery in most of Europe in the late 1820s and '30s. In America, civil war led to total war and after the war, the turmoil continued with the rise of white supremacist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and the issue of granting Civil Rights to freed blacks.
In France, the Salon des Refusés in 1863 invited art-works rejected for display at the Paris Salon of 1863. Many consider this the birth of modern art. Absinthe becomes popular in Europe.
