In 1861, the United States was on the brink of civil war, with tensions between Northern and Southern states escalating over issues like slavery and states' rights. The year marked the beginning of the American Civil War, which officially started in April when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Society was deeply divided, with families and communities torn apart by differing loyalties. Meanwhile, industrialization was advancing in the North, while the South remained largely agrarian, setting the stage for a profound transformation in the nation's history.
