Soldier Swords
The American Civil War (1861–1865),
also known by several other names, was a civil war between the United States of
America (the "Union") and the Southern slave states of the newly formed
Confederate States of America under Jefferson Davis. The Union included all of
the free states and the five slaveholding border states and was led by Abraham
Lincoln and the Republican Party. Republicans opposed the expansion of slavery
into territories owned by the United States, and their victory in the
presidential election of 1860 resulted in seven Southern states declaring their
secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office. The Union rejected
secession, regarding it as rebellion. Hostilities began on April 12, 1861
