18601863

18601863 is an eight-digit numeral that can be read as the concatenation of two four-digit years, 1860 and 1863. In practice, it may appear in contexts such as data identifiers, bibliographic codes, or file naming, where a hyphen or slash is omitted.

Historically, the period around these years is significant in the United States. The 1860 presidential election brought Abraham Lincoln to the presidency and contributed to rising sectional tensions that led to secession and the Civil War. In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, marking a shift in the war’s aims and bolstering the abolitionist cause. That year also featured major Civil War engagements, including the Battle of Gettysburg in July and the Vicksburg Campaign from May through July.

Because 18601863 is not a standard date format, its meaning depends on the source. It may denote the time span 1860–1863 in historical datasets, serve as a catalog code for a collection related to the Civil War era, or function as a numeric identifier used for indexing in a database or repository.
