The Civil War lasted for four years, from 1861 to 1865. In that time, heroes rose to command and defend, whether on the Confederate or Union side. As the Civil War pit man against man, brother against brother, leaders were born.

General Robert E. Lee followed the Confederacy once Virginia, his beloved birthplace, seceded and he commanded the Confederate forces in their fight under theConfederate battle flag. General Ulysses S. Grant commanded Union forces under the American flag.

Both generals were considered American heroes, as they fought as brave soldiers and commanded as beloved leaders. Today, we remember them as part of a war that divided the nation and provided turning points for the country's future. Remember the history and the leaders with the Heroes and Flags of the Civil War Commemorative Color Coin.
