The American Civil War was a civil war between the United States and several Southern states that seceded from the Union and called themselves the Confederate States of America. The conflict originated in America's issue on slavery, especially of the expansion of slavery into United States' territories, and it lasted from 12 April 1861 to 9 May 1865 when Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox County, Virginia.
History
