The American Civil War, also sometimes known as The War Between States, was the biggest American conflict in US soil and lasted from 1861 to 1865. The war was fought between the Northern States (the Union) and the Southern states (the Confederacy) and began on April 12, 1861, with the Confederate forces’ attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina after the election of Abraham Lincoln as president.

The war was a result of the controversial and diverging opinions regarding slavery in America and was one of the defining moments of US history. It was the deadliest conflict in American land, with thousands killed and millions injured.
