United States Civil War 1861-1865
There are an enormous number of resources on this topic.  I am suggesting you look at the links already gathered in these places.
Keywords:
Keep in mind that many countries have civil wars.  You might consider including a reference to the US or United States if your results are not what you expected.  If you search the name of a person, try it with and without the middle initial and/or name.  If the name seems common, try adding "civil war" to the search.

Confederate soldiers
Union soldiers
