Civil War Era Pewter Field Mug with Handle 1861-1865.

Although the U.S. had a few other conflicts between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, the latter is one of the deadliest conflicts in our country’s history.

Some might argue that the Civil War began over states’ rights and federal law. However, at the core of that issue was that some states thought it should be legal to keep humans as slaves. When Illinois politician Abraham Lincoln became president after including abolition as part of his campaign, southern states left the union to form the Confederate States of America. Thus, we began a four-year war to redefine what freedom means.
