It was between the UNION ( all of the free states and the five slaveholding border states and was led by Abraham Lincoln and the Republican Party. ) and the CONFEDERACY (the slave-holding states in the southern USA). Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Below is a chart of the leaders, etc:

Combatants
United States of America ("Union")
Confederate States of America ("Confederacy", CSA)

Commanders
Abraham Lincoln, President--Union
Ulysses S. Grant --Union
Jefferson Davis,--CSA
Robert E. Lee --CSA

Strength
2,200,000 men--Union
1,064,000 men--CSA
