The Confederate States of America fought a long and deadly civil war against the Union Army from 1861 to 1865, seeking to defend the institution of slavery and states' rights. While the CSA had some early victories, including at Bull Run and Fredericksburg, key defeats like Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Sherman's March to the Sea split the Confederacy into sections and ultimately led to its surrender in April 1865. Though the war ended over 150 years ago, debates still continue today over symbols of the Confederacy such as the Confederate flag.
