The expression is ‘ante bellum’. It comes directly from the Latin meaning ‘before the war’. However, its normal use is to talk about the period immediately before the American Civil War.

It is a term used to describe a type of architecture and translated into English the phrase means “before the war”.

It is used today to describe homes that were built before the US Civil War. Typically they have the classic southern mansion type of look to them.

In short, it means the time before a war but it most specifically refers to the U.S. Civil War – 1861-1865.

In Latin, ante means ‘before’ and bellum means ‘war.’

If you want to see some beautiful examples of antebellum mansions and plantations, visit Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA.
