The Civil War was one of the darkest periods in American history, marked by intense conflict between Northern and Southern states, primarily fueled by the issue of slavery.
While the cause of the war is hotly contested, many agree that slavery was central to the strife between North and South, complicating the agricultural interests of the South.
Abraham Lincoln’s primary goal during the Civil War was to preserve the Union, which eventually aligned with the abolition of slavery as Northern sentiment shifted.
With an estimated death toll of 750,000 to 850,000 soldiers, the Civil War remains the deadliest conflict in U.S. history, starkly illustrating the war's catastrophic toll.
