The American Civil War was a very significant event in the history of the United States of America, which took place between 1861 and 1865. The two sides faced were by one hand, the forces of the Northern states (La Union) against the newly Formed Confederate States of America, integrated by eleven states of the South, by the other hand that proclaimed its independence.

Four years after the start of the war, Confederate General Robert E. Lee, with an army dwindled by casualties and desertions, decided that it was better to surrender. On April 9, 1865, a meeting was arranged with General Ulysses S. Grant to sign the document of surrendering to the Confederate Army. President Andrew Jackson declared the official end of the war on August 20, 1866.
