The Civil War was a bloody and devastating conflict that lasted from 1861 to 1865. It was fought between the Northern states, known as the Union, and the Southern states, known as the Confederacy. The war was primarily fought over the issue of slavery and the Southern states' desire to secede from the Union.
The course of the Civil War was marked by major battles, such as Gettysburg, Antietam, and Vicksburg, where tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded. The war also saw the implementation of new military technologies, such as rifled muskets and ironclad warships, which increased the deadly efficiency of warfare.
The Union ultimately prevailed in the war, with the Confederacy surrendering in 1865. The war resulted in over 600,000 deaths and had a lasting impact on American society, helping to end slavery and unify the country.
