The Siege of Petersburg (outside Richmond, VA) lasted nearly 10 months, from June, 1864 to April, 1865. But it included various individual battles.
A series of land and river battles called the Battle of New Madrid (Island Number Ten) lasted from February 28 to April 8, 1862. Other protracted conflicts on the Mississippi River were the Siege of Vicksburg and Siege of Port Hudson.
Two other long battles for a single location were each about 2 weeks long:
Battle of Cold Harbor (May 31 to June 12, 1864)
Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, (May 8 to 21, 1864)
The Hundred Years War was a series of battles between England and France from 1337 to 1453, thus lasting 116 years. And there is another one. The Guatemalan war in which lasting 36 years.

basically the war followed him
The Afghan war was the longest in American history with constant conflict.The Third Punic War is-technically-the longest war in human history,lasting 2134 years.Another View:The question was not about American history, but human history.It is nonsense to talk of the Carthaginians being 'technically' still at war today, when they were sold off into slavery at the end of the Third Punic War in 146 BCE and ceased to exist as a city, country or people.We do have The Hundred Years War 1337 to 1453 CE between England and France. In earlier times we had the Persian Wars 499-449 BCE.
No, it should be viewed as history. It was a civil war not unlike our own civil war.
The French and Indian War was the longest US war before 1850.The longest US war in history was the Vietnam War.
