Introduction
 
While the American Civil War Homepage (1861–1865) allows students the opportunity to research the Civil War by subject, category, and topic, the Civil War Homepage also presents the war's history for each state. From Border States to Northern and Southern states, each subject is discussed with unique rich content which allows the reader to study and examine his or her state's contributions during the Civil War.
