Map:
The Civil War
1861 - 1865

   The Union states, also called the North, are shown in yellow. Three additional states in the Union - California, Oregon, and Nevada - are further to the west and are not shown.

   The Confederate states - the states of the South - are shown in green.

   The Confederacy surrendered in April of 1865, after four years fighting. That ended the Civil War.

   The Reconstruction period lasted 12 years. They were years of great changes and challenges for all Americans, but especially for those in the South.
