What was the American Civil War?

The American Civil War was fought from 1861-1865. The primary cause of the war was the disagreement over the issue of slavery and states’ rights.

The war began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. The Northerners (Unionists) responded by forming an army and attacking the South.

Over the course of the war, more than 620,000 men died, making it one of the deadliest in American history. In the end, the Union forces were victorious and slavery was abolished. Reconstruction followed in the South, which aimed to rebuild the region and ensure civil rights for African Americans.

What was the Union?

The Union was the alliance of the free states of the north during the American Civil War. The primary goal of the Union was to preserve the United States as a single country and to stop the spread of slavery. The Union army eventually emerged victorious.
