The '''American Civil War''', also known as the war of Northern Aggression, was a conflict which took place from 1861 to 1865, involving the government of the [[United States of America]] and eleven southern states which seceded from the Union and formed their own government called the [[Confederate States of America]].  In proportion to the total population, the Civil War was the most costly war fought in American history.
