Introduction

The United States Civil War may be one of the most oxy moronic statements in our history.  The Civil War had approximately 620,000 deaths killing more Americans than any other war in United States history.  Brother fighting brother would make this war one of the bloodiest in the world's history, anything but civil.  "You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom," Malcom X.
