ICM 1/35 Fierce battle. American Civil War Diorama Set # DS3519

The American Civil War was a major conflict that took place in the United States from 1861 to 1865.

The war was fought between the Union, consisting of the northern states, and the Confederacy, consisting of the southern states that had seceded from the Union.

The primary cause of the war was the issue of slavery and its expansion into new territories.

The southern states relied heavily on slavery for their economy, while the northern states were more focused on industrialization and had largely abolished slavery.

This led to a deep divide between the two regions and ultimately resulted in secession and the formation of the Confederacy.

The war was marked by significant battles and campaigns, including the first battle of Bull Run, Antietam, and Gettysburg.

It was also marked by significant advancements in military technology, such as the use of ironclad warships and repeating rifles.

The Union ultimately emerged victorious, and the Confederacy was dissolved. The war resulted in the abolition of slavery and the reunification of the country.

However, it also resulted in a significant loss of life, with an estimated 620,000 soldiers dying as a result of the conflict.

Today, the American Civil War remains a significant event in American history and is remembered as a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and the preservation of the Union.
