The American Civil War was the bloodiest and most consequential conflict ever to take place on American soil. One hundred and fifty years ago, Union and Confederate soldiers clashed from the Deep South to Pennsylvania; US and Rebel vessels vied in domestic and international waters; and, behind the battlefields, politicians, diplomats, and civilians played many roles in an epic struggle that would determine nothing less than the future – and soul – of the United States of America, the world’s first experiment in popular representative democracy.
