While there had been American wars (the War of 1812 and the Mexican War) where there were many Americans against the war and/or had little idea why they were fighting, the American Civil War was very different. The number of volunteers was very great, and even civilians knew what they and their kinsmen were fighting for. Except, the South was fighting for disunion so that they could maintain slavery while the people of the North were fighting for Union. But almost everyone was involved and most passionately so. It was not until WWII that so many Americans backed a war effort and those were the only two wars that could be called “peoples wars” as opposed to politicians wars. However, even in those two wars, there were a few pacifists.
