At its heart, the Civil War was about freedom in America. First and foremost, the war was about slavery; but as the conflict expanded, there were major


ramifications for women, for immigrants, for the middle class and for the notion of government as a whole. The men and women who shaped the conflict included the forefathers of the Civil Rights movement – Abraham Lincoln,


Frederick Douglass and others who changed the landscape not only for African Americans, but for all Americans. A landscaping that is still evolving today.
