Already thought it wouldn't be that obvious. So it's not about the American Civil War, right?
 
Was the American Civil War fought outside North America? :p

Well, I have no clue. It's possible they fought a naval battle or something outside of NA.

Could you give a synonym for 'vindicated', please? I have no clue what it means.
 
Hint: The fact that union was not capitalized was not a typo.

Somebody should really give the right answer before this thread falls and dies like many others...
 
Or scrap the riddle.
I don't know anything about the Civil War, so no right answers from me.
 
Haven't I made it clear that it wasn't the Civil War?

No, you didn't, you made the rather confusing statement
Was the American Civil War fought outside North America?
and I think we have already proven it was also fought outside N-A.
