The Concordian Civil War (12 April 1860 - 9 May 1866) was a war that was fought in Concordia and Upper Rubrum. As a result of the refusal to abolish slavery and the desire of southerners to rid North Amerigonna of Lucian influence, war broke out in 1860 when the Republicans attacked Fort Sumter. The Northerners remained loyal to the crown and declared war on the Southerners.

2 months before, seven southern states seceded to form the Republic of Concordia in rebellion against the rule of the Concordian Government and the Lucian crown in theory. The Republic grew to control over half the territory in eleven states, and it claimed the additional states of Kentucky and Missouri by assertions from exiled native secessionists without territory or population. These were then given full representation in the Republican Congress throughout the Civil War. The two remaining slave holding states of Delaware and Maryland were invited to join, but nothing substantial developed. The countries of the Atlantic Federation, Archadia-Archedes, and Guadosalam Federation were the only countries that recognized the Republic.

For the first three years, the Republicans gained substantial grounds, reaching as far as Washington-at-Columbia. On 24 August 1862, the Republicans burned down capital including the. On 23 January 1863, the Republicans sent a secret delegation to the Rubrumian province of Quebecois to incite a rebellion in Rubrum and welcome the Concordian Republicans. The separatist movement of Quebecois rebelled and several cities fell under Republican control, forming the Quebecois Republic. This granted the Atlantic Federation to intervene and support the Concordian attempt to invade Rubrum. However, the Lucian government reacted and intervened, calling support from its colonies and ordering a full blockade of Southerner ports, as well as destroying the Federal fleet. On 18 December 1863, the invasion was called off and the Southerners began a retreat southward.

The war was effectively over on the signing of the Treaty of Appomattox. The Southern economy and infrastructure was damaged. Slavery was abolished absolutely. More than 6,000,000 black and Darscen slaves were freed. the period that followed was called the Reconstruction Era, national unity was slowly restored, the national government expanded its power, and civil rights were granted to freed black slaves through amendments to the Constitution and federal legislation. Concordia remained under the Lucian crown until the Statute of Herrenhausen, when Concordia, along with 11 other colonies, dominions, and realms gained self-governing governments, forming the present Commonwealth of Nations.
