The Civil War, U.S. War U.S. Civil War, also sometimes known as the War Between the States, was a conflict fought from 1861 to 1865 between 11 southern U.S. states that seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America and the remaining United States. Precipitating causes of the war centered on economic issues and states’ rights versus federal power, often symbolized by the central dividing issue of slavery. More than 600,000 men on both sides died, which is greater than the combined U.S. losses in all subsequent wars and military conflicts through the beginning of the twenty-first century, though World War II exceeds this count if the metric is combat deaths versus deaths from all causes. Some also refer to the Civil War as the first “industrialized war” because of the extensive use of the telegraph, railroads, and mass-manufactured goods and weaponry.
