Civil War History (journal)

Civil War History refers to the study of the American Civil War (1861-1865), a pivotal conflict in U.S. history marked by deep divisions over slavery, state rights, and economic differences. The war pitted the Northern states (Union) against the Southern states (Confederacy) that seceded from the Union. Major events include battles like Gettysburg and Antietam, and key figures such as President Abraham Lincoln and General Robert E. Lee. The war ended with the Union's victory, leading to the abolition of slavery and significant social, political, and economic changes, laying the groundwork for modern America.
