Question: 1 / 400

What was the name of the U.S. war between the North and the South?

Civil War

The war fought between the Northern states and the Southern states of the United States from 1861 to 1865 is known as the Civil War. This conflict primarily arose over issues related to slavery, states' rights, and economic differences. The term "Civil War" refers specifically to a war between factions within a single country, which perfectly fits the context of this conflict as it involved fighting between two regions of the U.S., each with its own government and ideals.

The other wars listed do not pertain to this specific North-South conflict. World War I involved international combat among various nations from 1914 to 1918, the Revolutionary War was the war for American independence from British rule (1775-1783), and the Vietnam War was a conflict in Southeast Asia from the late 1950s to 1975. Thus, the designation of the Civil War distinctly relates to the internal struggle of the United States.
