The Statesian Civil War was a civil war between the Statesian government (the Union) and the reactionary breakaway Confederate States of America (CSA) from 1861 to 1865. After the war began, 286 out of over 1,000 Statesian officers joined the Confederate Army. Most of the Confederate officers had fought against indigenous nations in settler colonial wars, and the Union Army also attacked the Dakota in Minnesota and Navajo in the southwest during the war.[1]
