| | American Civil War |
 | | Butler, a war hero, had been a member of the Democratic Party, but his experiences during the American Civil War had made him increasingly radical. | | | It was eventually decided to charge General Robert Lee, James Seddon, the Secretary of War, and several other Confederate generals and politicians with "conspiring to injure the health and destroy the lives of United States soldiers held as prisoners by the Confederate States". | | | For example, 5,177 soldiers in the Union Army died of measles during the war. |

| | Amherst to Baghdad: Race, war and the American dream |
| | Their original war, like the demonization of the Trojans by the Greeks and the demonization of the Greeks by the Trojans, required racism to be legitimate to everyone involved. | | | The Iraqis, Americans convinced themselves, were not only helpless and anxious for us to go there, but they were also ripe for inclusion in our economic map of the Middle East, which could only help them by reorganizing their resources and putting them to work for us. | | | War needs an absolute deprivation of the other side's claim to human complexity, or else the boys at the front won't be absolute in their aims, which are to destroy by any means necessary the front line facing them. |

| | Rufus Pettit: American Civil War Union Prison Inspector | | | The next year, 1881, he applied for a Civil War pension, based upon a doctor's affidavit that he suffered from "chronic diarrhea, spinal paralysis and cystitis." The application was denied, probably because of the court-martial ruling. | | | Then the Civil War broke out, and he decided to sign up for another stint in the army. |

| | No End to War |
| | Indeed, it is because Americans cannot see the correlation between the wars the authors demand and security at home that Frum and Perle must resort to fear-mongering about holocausts, the end of civilization, and our demise as a nation. | | | With the cost of war at $200 billion and rising, with deaths mounting, and with the possibility growing that Iraq could collapse in chaos and civil war, President Bush appears to be experiencing buyer’s remorse about the lemon he was sold by Perle and friends. | | | In the run-up to the invasion, when critics were exposing their plotting for war long before 9/11, the neocons did not bother to deny it. |

| | The Civil War created a situation wherein women were able to develop skills of organization that would serve them in public and political activities more than ever before in American history. | | | The Civil War which began in 1861 and ended four years later in 1865, had a profound effect on the women who lived during that time. | | | As was the case during the Revolutionary War, domestic activities took on political meaning, but the seventy-five years since then had given women a lot of experience in how to organize their energies. |

| | Slavery and the American West: The Eclipse of Manifest Destiny and the Coming of the Civil War, by Michael A. Morrison. Introduction. |
| | As Mills Thornton has recognized, radical civil rights activists "asked Americans at large to reject the meaning of America as it had been fundamentally understood since the War of 1812, to pronounce it fundamentally flawed, and to recover the long-lost analytical framework of the Founding Fathers." They did not. | | | Standing apart from the war guilt school, the weight of evidence in this study and others argues that there was no conscious conspiracy in either the free or slave states to deny the other a role in the government. | | | Thanks to the efforts of historians of women and African Americans, we know that there were parallel political discourses that turned on the same questions of liberty and equality. |

| | The JPost : Naming a War |
| | What Americans now call the Civil War was once commonly spoken of in the South as "The War Between the States." Even the names of battles are disputed, with Southerners naming battles after nearest town, Northerners after the nearest river. | | | Two years into it, at least some of us can agree that it must be called a "war," and not go by such weak euphemisms as "the violence," "the conflict," or "the situation." Beyond that, as these short essays from prominent Jews (and one Palestinian) in Israel and abroad show, there is scant agreement. | | | What is this war all about for Israel, and for the Jews? |

Parnell Thomas, (R-New Jersey—who would later himself be jailed for accepting kickbacks) launched multiple investigations into Communist infiltration of organized labor, the Federal government, and most audaciously—Hollywood. | | | His reticence, he now claims, meant only that he opposed any war that would destroy humanity? |

| | Why the Union prevailed (or why the Confederacy was defeated) in the Civil War has been a subject of extensive analysis and debate. | | | The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a civil war between the United States of America, called the Union, and the Confederate States of America, formed by eleven Southern states that had declared their secession from the Union. | | | One of the reasons that the U.S. Civil War wore on as long as it did and the battles were so fierce was that most important generals on both sides had formerly served in the United States Army—some, including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, during the Mexican-American War between 1846 and 1848. |

| | They studied the entire history of modern civil wars and tried to determine what factors were related to civil war such as income, population, ethnic division, and the importance of resources and exports. | | | While a large number of Americans did not approve of the idea of slavery, few were interested in going to war over the issue. | | | By estimating the value of slaves and the cost of the war, the article very cleverly suggests that the Southern states fought to defend slavery and the Northern states fought to abolish slavery; the Civil War was basically fought over the issue of slavery, with the Union fighting to end black slavery and preserve union. |
