The American Civil War (1861-1865) itself did not lead to confederation; rather, it was a conflict between the Northern states (Union) and the Southern states (Confederacy) over issues such as slavery and states' rights. The Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, which was an attempt at a confederation of independent states. Ultimately, the Union's victory restored national unity and led to the abolition of slavery, but the Confederacy's existence was a direct consequence of the war, rather than a result of confederation.
