Civil wars since the closing of World War II have gone on average just over four years, a astonishing growth from the one and a half year average of the 1900 thru 1944 period. A Civil War Chess Set produces a very solid gift for collectors and game lovers alike.

The war, the most fatal in American history, induced six hundred and twenty thousand soldier deaths and an undetermined amount of civil casualties - luckily nobody dies using civil war chess sets.
