Civil War

The American Civil War was a pivotal conflict fought between the Union (the Northern states) and the Confederacy (the Southern states) from 1861 to 1865, resulting in the abolition of slavery and a more unified federal government. As a significant historical event that shaped the United States' social, economic, and technological landscape, the Civil War remains a relevant topic in the tech community, particularly in discussions around data preservation, digital heritage, and the role of technology in historical research and preservation.
