War fought from 1861 through 1865 between the United States of America (usually referred to during this conflict as the Union) and those states which were attempting to secede (the Confederacy, or the Confederate States of America). The Union won the war by taking advantage of its industrial base, by conducting a successful attritional campaign on land, and by conducting a successful naval campaign that starved the Confederacy of needed resources.
