The war wouldn't have grown into anything if it weren't for the people involved. You may, in fact, recognize a face or two above. On this website, I have focused on four very influential men and the things they did during the Civil War; Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Jefferson Davis, and Robert E. Lee. Two fought for the Confederate States and the other two fought for the Union. Click on the tabs under "Civil War People" to find more specific information on each person.
