The American Civil War (1861–1865)
The American Civil War was a pivotal conflict between the northern states (the Union) and the southern states (the Confederacy), fueled by issues such as slavery, states' rights, and economic tensions.
The war erupted after the southern states seceded from the Union following Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 due to his opposition to the expansion of slavery. The conflict officially began in April 1861 with the attack on Fort Sumter.
Over four years, the war saw fierce and decisive battles, including Gettysburg and Antietam. Under the leadership of President Lincoln and generals like Ulysses S. Grant, the Union ultimately defeated the Confederate forces led by General Robert E. Lee.
This medal commemorates one of the most significant chapters in American history, honoring the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom, unity, and equality.
