6. The American Civil War, also known as the War Between the
States or simply the Civil War, was a Civil War fought from 1861
to 1865 in the United States after several Southern slave states
declared their secession and formed the Confederate States of
America (the "Confederacy" or the "South"). The states that
remained were known as the "Union" or the "North". The war had
its origin in the fractious issue of slavery, especially the extension
of slavery into the western territories. Foreign powers did not
intervene. After four years of bloody combat that left over
600,000 soldiers dead and destroyed much of the South's
infrastructure, the Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished,
and the difficult Reconstruction process of restoring national unity
and guaranteeing rights to the freed slaves began.
