The War of 1812 was a war that lasted for two years that helped the United States to firmly and officially establish its independence. After finishing with the concern of France‚ England turned its attention over to the United States. At first‚ the United States did not want to resort to war and fighting (Doc.

American Civil War‚ a war that pinned the U.S.A against herself and created a rift between North and South. This complex war lasted about four years in which both sides suffered great casualties.
