The U.S. Civil War Between the States Note

The U.S. Civil War, also known as the War Between the States, was a conflict between the U.S. Federal Government and 11 Southern states that fought to secede from the Union.  It arose from several issues, but primarily a dispute between States Rights vs. Federal Rights. When the Southern states seceded, they were organized as the Confederate States of America, under their president, Jefferson Davis, while the Northern states were led by their newly-elected president, Abraham Lincoln.  The war began on April 12, 1861 in Charleston, S.C. when Confederate artillery fired on Fort Sumter. Northern military forces were led by General Ulysses S. Grant, and the Southern military forces were led by General Robert E. Lee.  Lee surrendered to Grant on April 9, 1865 at Appomattox (Virginia) Court House.  The mortality numbers were staggering; about 620,000 deaths out of a total of 2.4 million soldiers (25%).   The Front of the Bill pictures President Lincoln.  The serial number of our Civil War bill is the year the civil war began (1861) and the year it ended (1865).  The Back of the Bill features a picture of a civil war battlefield between pictures of General Grant and General Lee.  (Interesting Note: Ulysses S. Grant, who later became the 18th president of the U.S., was born Hiram Ulysses Grant, but changed his name, because he did not like his monogram, HUG).
