Statesian Civil War

Union in blue and Confederacy in red. Light blue states had slavery but remained part of the Union.

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.

Background

In early 1861, several southern states of the USA seceded to form the Confederate States of America. Abraham Lincoln succeeded James Buchanan as President of the United States in March. The CSA seized the army base at Fort Sumter, South Carolina in April 1861, beginning the war.
