<|assistant|>
The American Civil War was about the break-up of the United States between the Union, those who wished to keep the country as one nation, and the Confederacy, those who wanted a new nation. This conflict was primarily caused by the issue of slavery, with the Confederacy wanting to keep this institution as part of their economy.
