From 1861 to 1865, the United States was a nation at war. The nation experienced its bloodiest conflict to that point as millions of men marched to battle. The war touched everyone's lives, and called upon everyone to make a contribution. The ordinary routines were disrupted, the status quo was shaken. While much was gradually restored after the war, some changes that took place during the Civil War made lasting changes in the daily lives of Americans.
