When was the U.S. Civil War and who fought?
150 years ago, 1861-65, our country fought a bloody fratricidal conflict. It's known by many names: "War Between the States", "The Second American Revolution", "The Yankee Invasion", and of course "The American or U.S. Civil War".

Eleven states seceeded from the U.S. to form the country, Confederate States of America. The war was between the CSA, the "South" and the remaining states, the "North", of the U.S. The CSA's uniform was usually gray, while the North's was blue.

What were the causes of the Civil War?

Was it States Rights, slavery, trade & commerce, Abolition, the election of Abraham Lincoln? Or, all of them.

The answers and issues will be found in the many history books available. Check out my reading list below for ideas.
