Template:American Civil War

Template documentation

Note to editors on how to manage collapsibility:

• Use {{American Civil War|state=collapsed}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state.
• Use {{American Civil War|state=expanded}} to show this template in its expanded (fully visible) state.
• Use {{American Civil War|state=autocollapse}} to show this template in its collapsed (hidden) state only if there is another template of the same type on the page. (This is usually the default.)

How to manage this template's collapsible groups/sections option

• This template includes collapsible groups/sections. When it first appears, one of these groups/sections may be set to be visible ("expanded") while the others remain hidden ("collapsed") apart from their titlebars. To achieve this, include the parameter |name where name is one of the following names identifying the groups/sections (omit any speech or quotation marks):
• "Origins", "CTCBS", "Leaders", "After" or "RTC"
• For example: {{American Civil War |Leaders}}
