American Civil War

The American Civil War was an internal conflict between the United States of America and the self-proclaimed "Confederate States of America". ( "The Field Where I Died")
==History==
The war started in 1861 after eleven slavery-practicing states declared they had left the U.S. due to fears that their slaves would be freed in the future by newly elected U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. The U.S. refused to accept that they had left and when the Confederates attacked the U.S. Army in South Carolina, this sparked war. The Confederates fought against the U.S. and its army and navy for four bloody years before being beaten by the same and surrendering. The Confederacy was reabsorbed back into the U.S. and slavery was outlawed in 1865 as a result of the U.S. victory. However, a man who was angry about the Confederates losing and the slaves being freed murdered President Lincoln in 1865 in retaliation. ( "The Field Where I Died")
