| | American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The origins of the American Civil War lay in the complex issues of slavery, politics, disagreements over the scope of States' rights versus federal power, expansionism, sectionalism, economics, modernization, and competing nationalism of the Antebellum period. | | | The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a bitter sectional conflict between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America, formed of eleven southern states' governments which moved to secede from the Union after the 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln as President of the United States. | | | Map of the division of the states during the Civil War. |

| | Civil war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Religion is more contentious, there are some civil wars that can be seen as fueled by religion in early years, such as the Jewish Revolts against Rome, but these can also be seen as revolts by a servile people against their oppressors or uprisings by local notables in an attempt to gain independence. | | | One contributing factor is that civil wars often become proxy wars for outside powers that fund their partisans and thus encourage further violence. | | | However, the United States was one of the wealthiest and most democratic countries in the world at the time of its bloody civil war. |

| | English Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | With the monarchy restored with the consent of Parliament, the civil wars effectively set England and Scotland on course to become a parliamentary democracy. | | | The first (1642–1645) and the second (1648–1649) civil wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third (1649–1651) was between supporters of Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. | | | The wars inextricably mingled with and formed part of a linked series of conflicts and civil wars between 1639 and 1651 in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland, which at that time shared a monarch but formed distinct countries with otherwise separate political structures. |

Stanton (Secretary of War) and vice president Hannibal Hamlin, who were all strong opponents of slavery, led the campaign to have George McClellan sacked. | | | Butler, a war hero, had been a member of the Democratic Party, but his experiences during the American Civil War had made him increasingly radical. | | | It was eventually decided to charge General Robert Lee, James Seddon, the Secretary of War, and several other Confederate generals and politicians with "conspiring to injure the health and destroy the lives of United States soldiers held as prisoners by the Confederate States". |

| | Under duress of war, we were brought under the Enrollment Act and the Emancipation Proclamation, followed by the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments (and later the 19th and 26th), which opened the door to the Civil Rights Acts, the Freedmen's Bureau and the Union Leagues. | | | Prior to the war, the courts had always ruled that the allegiance which the people owe to the Federal government was derived from their State Citizenship; henceforth, it would be claimed that the people owe complete, direct and immediate allegiance to the Federal government first, and that State citizenship is secondary. | | | Prior to the war, the Federal government had never possessed rights of eminent domain; it was viewed as a foreign power with respect to any of the States, and could enter the territory of a State only to execute the few powers granted. |
