The American Civil War at Troynovant:
clashes in The War of the Rebellion, 1860-1865
(or The War Between the States),
as well as debates on freedom & slavery, etc.;
listed by Title
  

We extend the duration beyond the years 1860-1865, to include the antecedent debates and conflicts, and Reconstruction afterwards. We also extend the topical breadth beyond the campaigns and battles of the Civil War proper, to history and biography of the era, issues of freedom and slavery, the extension of slavery into the Territories, the Free Soil movement, diplomacy, and so on.

We do not index here works whose subjects are concurrent but not really involved, such as Clarence Budington Kelland's novel Arizona; or partially inspired by the American Civil War, such as Joss Whedon's Firefly dvd series. Incidental references to the Civil War or its principals, ideas, and so on, also are not included here.

[In the fields near York.]

King Henry:

O piteous spectacle! O bloody times!

Whiles lions war and battle for their dens,
Poor harmless lambs abide their enmity.

Weep, wretched man, I'll aid thee tear for tear;
And let our hearts and eyes, like civil war,
Be blind with tears, and break o'ercharged with grief.

William Shakespeare
3 Henry VI, 2.5.73-78

  
Bank of Georgia, one dollar 25pct paid in gold

  

If they [recent immigrants to America] look back through this history to trace their connection with those days [of the American Revolution] by blood, they find they have none, they cannot carry themselves back into that glorious epoch and make themselves feel that they are part of us, but when they look through that old Declaration of Independence they find that those old men say that

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,"

and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote the Declaration, and so they are.

That is the electric cord in that Declaration that links the hearts of patriotic and liberty-loving men together, that will link those patriotic hearts as long as the love of freedom exists in the minds of men throughout the world.
