The '''American Civil War''' 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 terms of casualties versus population the Civil War was the worst war ever fought in American history, having involved casualties of nearly a million soldiers and civilians, roughly three percent of the country's total population of about 28 million people; with the exception of [[World War II]], the Civil War has claimed more battle deaths than all other American wars combined.
