who won civil war

The American Civil War was won by the Union, meaning the Northern states defeated the Confederacy (the Southern states).

In practical terms, this meant:

• The Confederate government collapsed, and its armies surrendered in 1865.

• The United States remained a single country rather than splitting into two.

• Slavery was abolished nationwide, with about four million enslaved people freed and the Thirteenth Amendment passed.

If by “who won civil war” you meant a different country’s civil war (for example, not the American one), tell me which conflict and I can narrow it down.
