The assumption that the nation was "at peace" prior to the civil war presumes the absence of combat. Such was not the case. If you recall the Mexican war had preceded the civil war by just a relatively few years, and roughly 40 odd years prior to that, the nation ( such as it was) fought the War of 1812.
