1848, the Mexican-American War ended in the favor of the United States of America (U.S.A.). As the U.S.A. boundaries span from the East to the West, they assumed the tittle of World Power in the late 1849. Even though the U.S.A. won the war, their country was scarred by war exhaustion. Many factories were closed leave thousand jobless. On the other hand, the Southerners begun to make claims about a Confederate States of America (C.S.A.) In the past, there had been several conflicts between the North and South about slavery. While the North suffered from the war, the South built a strong economy on the back of the slaves. The slave debates continue to be strong at the end of 1850.

Soon, eleven slaves state formed the C.S.A or the Confederacy and break away from the U.S.A.. Hostilities began when the forces of C.S.A. began to attack several provinces of the U.S.A.. The U.S.A. or the Union responded with ferocity. The US Army moved deep into the Southern lands, burnt everything they see while the co-operation between the US Dragoon and the Native American laid waste to the irregular C.S.A.forces in the West. The US Navy also tasked the Anaconda Plan to blockage the C.S.A. from the sea to bled them dry. The whole world watches as the greatest nation in America fight for supremacy.
The Battle of Chickamauga was one of the deadliest battles in the West. The US Dragoon and the Native laid successful ambushes among many forest and hill led to massive attrition for the Confederate troops.

In 1852, Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation to ensure the ending slavery in the South as a war goal. This news hit the C.S.A. hard as their slaves began to revolt and ran to aid the Union. But the war did not ended there. The Southern General Robert E. Lee won many battles in the East but he was pushed back from his Northern campaign due to lack of supplies and heavy attrition.

In 1855, Robert E. Lee fought his last stand in the C.S.A. capital of Virginia. Overwhelmed by the Union forces General Lee died bravely while fighting the Union Army inside the capitol building. Without Lee, the Confederacy troops was in disarray. Many fought and died a glorious death while some throw down their weapons at the end of the day.

With the death of General Lee and the surrender of the Virginia, the C.S.A. surrendered. The U.S.A. won the war and all slaves were freed. Cheerful joy and festival appeared across the country. And for the first time, the picture of the white and black folks dance together warmed the heart of the people around the world.
