The civil war by American from the year 1861 to 1865 between the Northern also called as Union and the Southern, called as Confederates primarily concerning slave, economics and sovereignty. There had been rising conflict for several decades because of different opinions on the issue of the spread of slavery into new regions and its impact to the economy of the United States of America.

Civil War broke out on the 12th of April in 1861 through a successful attack on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. The North side was instituted by President Abraham Lincoln and its aim was to preserve the Union while in the long run eradicates slavery. The South was led by President Jefferson Davis and crossed their aim so as to enslave their nation so as to maintain their agricultural-based economy and slave culture.

Some of the major wars fought included the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 where the tide was turned for the Union and of Sherman’s march to the sea in 1864 that destroyed much of Southern infrastructure. It came to the halt on April 9, 1865, Civil War’s officially recognized peace started when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House.

They determined that the Civil War was 620,000 deaths and immense devastation in the South; but it abolished slavery through the 13th Amendment and produced Reconstruction to dramatically alter the social fabric of America and the political culture of the country.
