From the early 1800s until the civil war, <u>growth </u>in the size of government occurred largely because of <u>the size of </u><u>United States</u>.
The American Civil War, commonly known as the War Between the States, lasted four years, from 1861 to 1855 and was fought between the United States and the Confederate States of America, a group of 11 Southern states that had seceded from the Union.
The Confederate States was vanquished by the United States after a violent four-year war. Slavery was eventually abolished throughout the country, and the rebellious states were re-admitted into the union.
In the years to follow, the Civil War would have a profound effect on American politics. The size of the government increased. Five U.S. Presidents—General Ulysses Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, and William McKinley—were among the numerous soldiers from both sides who were later elected to political office.
