War Of 1812
The American civil war.
The Dutch gave America money to buy war-good for the famous 1700s 'Revolutionary war'.
More Americans were lost than in any other war. And Americans were fighting Americans.
The French and British had a lot of animosity for each other. The French thought that by helping the US defeat the British, it would get back at the British for the fighting in the French and Indian War, and the multitude of conflict in Europe over the previous 100 years.
There was an increase of Afro-Americans in many areas of civilian and military life after the US Civil War. Certainly the "West" was a good place for freed slaves to go inasmuch as much of the new territories either had farmlands in which freed slaves had experience as well as handling livestock. Both these types of work were found in the South before the US Civil War.
