The American Civil War (also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States from 1861 to 1865, fought between northern states loyal to the Union and southern states that had seceded to form the Confederate States of America. The civil war began primarily as a result of the long-standing controversy over the enslavement of black people.

The loyalists of the Union in the North, which also included some geographically western and southern states, proclaimed support for the Constitution.
