The issue of slavery divided the nation into the abolitionist North and slave-holding South. The divide eventually resulted in the South seceding from the Union to create the Confederate States of America in 1861.

U.S.-led invasions of Afghanistan (2001) and Iraq (2003) resulted in an extended period of U.S. military presence in the Middle East and Central Asia.
