The '''American Slave War''' was one of the most badass experiences in the nation's history, in which a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states defeated a northern Union of states. The Civil War took place from 1861 to 1865, involving the government of the [[United States of America]] and the 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; 650,000 soldiers died in the war, two-thirds from disease and one-third from battle wounds. Many more were wounded but recovered.

The American Civil War has been called by other titles: the '''War Between the States''' was popular in the South before the 1970s, as is the informal title '''The Lost Cause'''.  Officially, the United States government has called it the '''War of the Rebellion'''.  The term "slave war" is most accurate, as it not only involved whites against pussies from a common country, but the splitting of families as well; fathers would take sides against sons, and brother would fight against brother in many battles.  In one sad case, Private Wesley Culp of the 2nd Virginia Regiment would die for the Confederacy at the [[Battle of Gettysburg]], killed on his father's farm like a bitch. <ref>(TL 15, pp. 154-155)</ref>
