Genre - War/ War Drama movies on American Civil War.

The American Civil War, widely known in the United States as simply the Civil War, was fought from 1861 to 1865 to determine the survival of the Union or independence for the Confederacy. Among the 34 states as of January 1861, seven Southern slave states individually declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America in the South, known as the "Confederacy".

But in 1865 finally after 4 years of bitter conflict, the Northern Union armies defeated the Confederate South with General Robert E Lee's surrender and capture of Confederate President Davis. With this slavery ended in America. Tragically after inspiring the US crowds during the war the US President is assassinated by a confederate southern stage actor after the end of the war. An English poem Oh! Captain My Captain is dedicated to Abraham Lincoln. The war costed almost 1,030,000 casualties (3% of the population), including about 6,20,000 soldier deaths.
