Civil War

The Civil War was a war that occurred in the USA (1861-1864) that was between the northern and southern states. It has a lot of place in the story, as it was what prompted Genevieve Duchannes to use The Book of Moons to bring back Ethan Carter Wate, turning her Dark and starting the curse. It's mentioned that all of the older people in the town call it "The War of Northern Aggression" and the younger ones call it "The War Between the States," and teachers would even go as far as to take points off of a paper if you called it the "Civil War." It is ultimately the start of all of the conflict in the Caster Chronicles.
