The Civil War

14 Nov 2026 From 1861 to 1865, Americans fought each other with a ferocity unseen in the country’s history. The immediate cause of the war was the secession of the Southern states. However, the roots lay in growing tensions over slavery. By the time the last shots were fired, as many as 750,000 Americans had been killed, and four million enslaved people were freed.
