Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Starting with the first shot from Fort Sumter, South Carolina, the American Civil War was a war between the Southern slave-owning states (the Confederacy) and the Northern Union states. The Confederate states, choosing to secede from the United States, embarked on a war between states. Enraged by the election of President Abraham Lincoln and his goal to end slavery, the Confederate forces attacked a US Military installation on April 12, 1861, thereby starting a four-year civil conflict. Ultimately, the Union forces prevailed victoriously resulting in reconstruction and the abolishment of slavery. As the deadliest war on record in the history of the United States, the Civil War claimed more than 620,000 soldiers and countless civilians. This book focuses on the events leading up to the conclusion of the American Civil War including those considered the turning points such as the Battle of Gettysburg and the Atlanta Campaign. Also included are the various surrenders and the capture of Confederate President Jefferson Davis which marked the defeat of the Confederate forces and victory for the Union army.
