War broke out between the North and South on April 12, 1861 and lasted almost exactly four years (April 9, 1865) - resulting in 618,000 deaths from all causes. Artist Randy Green has created a somber yet magnificent overview of the key states involved and the heroic figures who emerged from this tragic yet ultimately liberating and unifying conflict.
