The Civil War between the Northern and Southern states was the costliest and bloodiest war in the U.S. history. At stake was the nation's very existence. Between 1861 and 1865, countless battles were fought and thousands of lives were lost all in the name of preserving the Union. Famous battles at Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg pitted brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. Union General Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate General Robert E. Lee became legends. The President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, became a martyr in his noble crusade to end slavery. From the first shots fired upon Fort Sumter to surrender at Appomattox Court House, the Civil War would change America from a nation divided to a truly United States forever.
