解释：
Do you know which war has been the deadliest war for the United States (or the war that has had the most American deaths)? It was the Civil War, where Americans fought against each other. From 1861 to 1865, northern states fought against southern states, sometimes with family members fighting against each other. About 620,000 soldiers (or people who fight in a war) died.
你知道那场战争是美国伤亡最大的战争吗？是南北战争，美国人互相打仗。从1861年到1865年，北方州和南方州对战，有时候甚至是家庭内部成员互相战争，大约620000士兵死于这场战争。
The northern states were called “the Union” and were led by President Abraham Lincoln. The Union was fighting against 11 states in the south that had seceded from the United States (or stopped being a part of the country). They called themselves the Confederate States of America, or sometimes just the Confederacy, and were led by a man named Jefferson Davis.
北方州被称为“联邦”，由亚伯拉罕.林肯总统领导。联邦和南方的11个州对战。南方的11个州从美国脱离，他们称自己为美国坚联盟国，有时候只称为联盟，由一名叫杰斐逊.戴维斯的人领导。
The Confederacy claimed its independence, or said that it was no longer part of the United States, but no other countries recognized its independence, meaning that no other countries treated it like a new country, even though some British and French companies did sell military supplies (or things to fight with, such as guns) to the Confederacy. The United States treated the Confederacy as a rebellion (or an organized effort to change the leadership of a country).
联盟宣布独立，称自己不再是美国的一部分，但其他国家不承认他的独立，也就是说即使有些英国和法国公司向联盟供应军火，但没有国家将他当做一个新的国家。美国将联盟视为叛军。
Although the Confederacy did not exist for very long, it did have an organized government. Jefferson Davis was elected to be the president and he had a full cabinet, or a group of people to give him ideas and suggestions for the government and to run important government offices. The Confederacy also had its own flag, which is sometimes called the “Navy Jack,” Although most people today call it simply the Confederate flag.
虽然联盟存在的时间不长，但它确实有组织的政府。杰斐逊.戴维斯被选为总统并有完整的内阁，即有一组给政府提想法和建议并在政府重要部门任职的人。联盟也有自己的旗帜，有时候被称为“海军杰克”，不过现在很多人将其称为联盟旗。
Even though the Confederacy lost the war and the 11 states rejoined the United States (or became part of the country again), many of the people who live in the south are still proud of the Confederacy. Sometimes you can see the Confederate flag flying in the southern United States.
虽然联盟战争失败，南方的11个州也回归美国，但很多居住在南方的美国人仍以联盟为豪。有时候你还能看到联盟的旗帜在美国的南部飘扬。
