The Civil War was an important time period in American history that resulted in slavery being banned throughout America. After the Confederate Commander Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant, other Southern generals followed. Eventually, the fighting stopped and ended the war. Despite all the controversy between the Confederacy and the Union before the war, the Civil War brought America to the united country it is today. Approximately 620,000 soldiers died in battle.
