Which American conflict from 1861 to 1865 was fought over slavery and states' rights in the United States?

• A. Cold War
• B. American Civil War
• C. Battle of Bunker Hill
• D. Hundred Years' War

Answer: (B)

Identifying the conflict in the United States during 1861–1865 that centered on slavery and states' rights. This describes the American Civil War, a struggle sparked by disputes over whether slavery would continue in new territories and states and whether states could secede from the Union. The war is not the Cold War, which concerns global rivalry after World War II, nor is it the Battle of Bunker Hill, a Revolutionary War moment from the 18th century, or the Hundred Years' War, a medieval conflict between England and France.
