American Civil War

Shelf by nono umasy
The American Civil War (1861-1865), a pivotal conflict in United States history, was primarily driven by the contentious issue of slavery. This war, fought between the Northern states (the Union) and the Southern states (the Confederacy) that seceded from the Union, fundamentally reshaped the nation's social, political, and economic landscape. Key events include the Battle of Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which proclaimed the freedom of slaves in the Confederate states, and his subsequent assassination shortly after the South's surrender. The Civil War's conclusion led to the Reconstruction era, aimed at rebuilding the nation and integrating freed slaves into society. Its legacy continues to influence American culture and politics, emphasizing themes of freedom, equality, and national identity.
