The civil war was a final triumph of an idea of a federal union over the power of the individual states because it helped the several states unite. They came up with various ways that made sure the civil war did not occur again.
Reconstruction did not occur during the Civil War. Reconstruction was after the terrible destruction of the war. And reconstruction was not entirely successful, despite what that chapter in the history book tells you. Reconstruction first started with lincolns plan. It failed. Congress then tried a plan, but Lincoln pocket vetoed it. Johnston then tried a plan, but failed, then congress came up with a new plan and suceeded.

To pass the time, what did soldiers in the civil war do?
This is true of the battles in the East. The two capitols were close to each other. In the West, however, several battles, Ft. Henry, Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Perryville, Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga, Atlanta, and many, many more were fought nowhere near either capital.
The capital of the Confederacy was in Virginia
Most in the Confederacy - by far.
During the US Civil War, the State of Kentucky was the site of several battles between the North and the South.
Most of the battles occurred at sea, which minimised the collateral damage to the civil population.
NO! The American Civil War (1861-1865) was mainly in the South. Gettysburg was one of very few battles in the North. There was a naval engagement: the battle of Portland Harbor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Portland_Harbor
Most of the major battles did take place in Virginia, however there were battles and skirmishes that were fought from New Mexico all the way to Vermont.

Virginia was the scene of most combat in the American Civil War. Indeed the area around Fredericksburg Virginia saw major battles in 1861, 1862, 1863 and 1864. The area immediately adjacent to Richmond saw two major campaigns that were especially violent. In the western theater Tennessee saw the most action.
