The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a sectional conflict in the United States of America between the federal government (the "Union") and 11 Southern slave states that declared their secession and formed the Confederate States of America,led by President Jefferson Davis.The Union,led by President Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party,which opposed expansion of slavery,rejected any right of secession.Fighting began April 12,1861 when Confederate forces attacked a Federal fort at the Battle of Fort Sumter.
The full restoration of the Union was the work of a highly contentious postwar era known as Reconstruction.The war produced more than 970,000 casualties (3% of the population),including approximately 620,000 soldier deaths—⅔ by disease.The causes of the war,the reasons for its outcome,and even the name of the war itself are subjects of lingering controversy even today.The main results of the war were the restoration and strengthening of the Union,and the end of slavery in the United States
