The American Civil War (1861-1865) killed an estimated 620,000-750,000 soldiers — more American deaths than World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined. The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1-3, 1863) was the war's bloodiest engagement with over 50,000 casualties, and Lincoln's subsequent Gettysburg Address — just 272 words delivered in about two minutes — redefined the war as a struggle for equality and became one of the most quoted speeches in American history. The Emancipation Proclamation, issued January 1, 1863, declared slaves in Confederate states "forever free" and authorized the enlistment of Black soldiers, with approximately 180,000 African Americans ultimately serving in the Union Army.
