the American Civil War">other names</a>) was a <a href="/wiki/Civil_war" title="Civil war">civil war</a> in the <a href="/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> between the <a href="/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)" title="Union (American Civil War)">Union</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[e]</a> ("the North") and the <a href="/wiki/Confederate_States_of_America" title="Confederate States of America">Confederacy</a> ("the South"), which was formed in 1861 by <a href="/wiki/U.S._state" title="U.S. state">states</a> that had <a href="/wiki/Seceded" class="mw-redirect" title="Seceded">seceded</a> from the Union. The <a href="/wiki/Origins_of_the_American_Civil_War" title="Origins of the American Civil War">central conflict leading to war</a> was a dispute over whether <a href="/wiki/Slavery_in_the_United_States" title="Slavery in the United States">slavery</a> should be permitted to expand into the western territories, leading to more <a href="/wiki/Slave_states" class="mw-redirect" title="Slave states">slave states</a>, or be prohibited from doing so, which many believed would place slavery on a course of ultimate extinction.<a href="#cite_note-19">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-Woods2012-20">[15]</a> <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_events_leading_to_the_American_Civil_War" title="Timeline of events leading to the American Civil War">Decades of controversy</a> over slavery were brought to a head when <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a>, who opposed slavery's expansion, won the <a href="/wiki/1860_presidential_election" class="mw-redirect" title="1860 presidential election">1860 presidential election</a>. Seven Southern slave states responded to Lincoln's victory by seceding from the United States and forming the Confederacy. The Confederacy seized U.S. forts and other federal assets within their borders. The war began on April 12, 1861, when the Confederacy bombarded <a href="/wiki/Fort_Sumter" title="Fort Sumter">Fort Sumter</a> in <a href="/wiki/South_Carolina" title="South Carolina">South Carolina</a>. A wave of enthusiasm for war swept over the North and South, as military recruitment soared. Four more Southern states <a href="/wiki/Secession_in_the_United_States" title="Secession in the United States">seceded</a> after the war began and, led by its president, <a href="/wiki/Jefferson_Davis" title="Jefferson Davis">Jefferson Davis</a>, the Confederacy asserted control over a third of the U.S. population in eleven states. Four years of intense combat, mostly in the South, ensued. During 1861–1862 in the <a href="/wiki/Western_theater_of_the_American_Civil_War" title="Western theater of the American Civil War">Western theater</a>, the Union made permanent gains—though in the <a href="/wiki/Eastern_theater_of_the_American_Civil_War" title="Eastern theater of the American Civil War">Eastern theater</a> the conflict was inconclusive. The abolition of slavery became a Union war goal on January 1, 1863, when Lincoln issued the <a href="/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation" title="Emancipation Proclamation">Emancipation Proclamation</a>, which declared all slaves in rebel states to be free, applying to more than 3.5 million of the 4 million enslaved people in the country. To the west, the Union first destroyed the Confederacy's river navy by the summer of 1862, then much of its western armies, and <a href="/wiki/Capture_of_New_Orleans" title="Capture of New Orleans">seized New Orleans</a>. The successful 1863 Union <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Vicksburg" title="Siege of Vicksburg">siege of Vicksburg</a> split the Confederacy in two at the <a href="/wiki/Mississippi_River" title="Mississippi River">Mississippi River</a>, while Confederate General <a href="/wiki/Robert_E._Lee" title="Robert E.

Western successes led to General <a href="/wiki/Ulysses_S._Grant" title="Ulysses S. Grant">Ulysses S. Grant</a>'s command of all Union armies in 1864. Inflicting an ever-tightening <a href="/wiki/Union_blockade" title="Union blockade">naval blockade</a> of Confederate ports, the Union marshaled resources and manpower to attack the Confederacy from all directions. This led to the <a href="/wiki/Fall_of_Atlanta" class="mw-redirect" title="Fall of Atlanta">fall of Atlanta</a> in 1864 to Union General <a href="/wiki/William_Tecumseh_Sherman" title="William Tecumseh Sherman">William Tecumseh Sherman</a>, followed by his <a href="/wiki/Sherman%27s_March_to_the_Sea" title="Sherman's March to the Sea">March to the Sea</a>.

Lincoln decided holding the fort, which would require reinforcing it, was the only workable option. On April 6, Lincoln informed the Governor of South Carolina that a ship with food but no ammunition would attempt to supply the fort. Historian McPherson describes this win-win approach as "the first sign of the mastery that would mark Lincoln's presidency"; the Union would win if it could resupply and hold the fort, and the South would be the aggressor if it opened fire on an unarmed ship supplying starving men.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcPherson1988272-57">[50]</a> An April 9 Confederate cabinet meeting resulted in Davis ordering General <a href="/wiki/P._G._T._Beauregard" title="P.

After the initial enthusiasm faded, relying on young men who came of age each year was not enough. Both sides enacted draft laws (conscription) to encourage or force volunteering, though relatively few were drafted. The Confederacy passed a draft law in April 1862 for men aged 18–35, with exemptions for overseers, government officials, and clergymen. The U.S. Congress followed in July, authorizing a militia draft within states that could not meet their quota with volunteers.

Men selected in the draft could provide substitutes or, until mid-1864, pay commutation money. Many eligibles pooled their money to cover the cost of anyone drafted. Families used the substitute provision to select which man should go into the army and which should stay home. There was much evasion and resistance to the draft, especially in Catholic areas. The <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_draft_riots" title="New York City draft riots">New York City draft riots</a> in July 1863 involved Irish immigrants who had been signed up as citizens to swell the vote of the <a href="/wiki/Tammany_Hall" title="Tammany Hall">city's Democratic political machine</a>, not realizing it made them liable for the draft.&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(September_2024)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;_89-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESchecter2007[[Category:Wikipedia_articles_needing_page_number_citations_from_September_2024]]<sup_class="noprint_Inline-Template_"_style="white-space:nowrap;">&#91;[[Wikipedia:Citing_sources|<span_title="This_citation_requires_a_reference_to_the_specific_page_or_range_of_pages_in_which_the_material_appears.&#32;(September_2024)">page&nbsp;needed]]&#93;-89">[81]</a> Of the 168,649 men procured for the Union through the draft, 117,986 were substitutes, leaving only 50,663 who were conscripted.<a href="#cite_note-Murdock1971-90">[82]</a> In the North and South, draft laws were highly unpopular.

The <a href="/wiki/Army_of_the_Peninsula" title="Army of the Peninsula">Army of the Peninsula</a> was merged into it on April 12, 1862.

Military history has largely developed outside academia, leading to a proliferation of studies by non-scholars who nevertheless are familiar with the primary sources and pay close attention to battles and campaigns and who write for the general public.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWoodworth1996208-309">[293]</a><a href="#cite_note-310">[294]</a> Practically every major figure in the war, both North and South, has had a serious biographical study.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Even the name used for the conflict has been controversial, with <a href="/wiki/Names_of_the_American_Civil_War" title="Names of the American Civil War">many names used for it</a>. During and immediately after the war, Northern historians often used a term like "War of the Rebellion". Writers in rebel states often referred to the "War for Southern Independence". Some Southerners have described it as the "War of Northern Aggression".<a href="#cite_note-311">[295]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lost_Cause">Lost Cause</h3></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Lost_Cause_of_the_Confederacy" title="Lost Cause of the Confederacy">Lost Cause of the Confederacy</a></div> The memory of the war in the white South crystallized in the myth of the "Lost Cause": that the Confederate cause was just and heroic.
