During the mid-1800’s, the United States at that point could no longer find room to compromise on their views, and the secession of the South from the North showed the beginning of the Civil War. Both sides believed they were fighting for what was right: the Union for the equality and the Confederacy for the liberty of states’ rights. As there was virtually no room for compromise whatsoever, both sides perceived the other as trying to do what would work out to have the higher benefit for them. The sides both generally felt that the war was needed, but the Union felt that the war was a barrier in the growth of the country as a whole and the division was not how the country should stand. Since the beginning of the stirrings of the Civil War,

The post-Civil War, also known as the extended period that came to be known as the Gilded Age, was largely centered around and influenced by big business and corporations. The newfound efficiency of resources and mass production resulted in a wide variety of available products but also a wide divide between classes and a misdistribution of power that led to the forming of unions and passing of anti-trust legislation. Big business employed money and power to control and manipulate the economy and politics to their own advantage through dishonest means and exploitation of poor immigrants. Americans such as Samuel Gompers worked on the creation of different labor unions to protect the common people and authors such as Jacob Riis and Stephen
The American civil war brewing in the middle 19th century because of the varying views on slavery and also because of the growing sympathy for the abolition movement. But the American civil war was unofficially started when Abraham Lincoln was elected president (who was anti-slavery): slave states started seceding from the union. And when the shots at Fort Sumter were fired, the civil war had officially begun.
The North and South felt like it was necessary because they couldn’t come up with a civil solution. After the civil war in 1865 reconstruction was the national effort to reintegrate the north and south so they could work together as one nation without slavery.
The United States of America was very divided even as they were becoming more powerful. Without agreements such as the Missouri and ⅗ Compromise, our great nation may not have continued to be united after the Civil War. Along with compromises came sectional differences between the North and South. Matters such as slavery, economics, and representation in Congress were present when the U.S was founded in 1776. The North was against slavery, wanted more free states, and had lots of money in industries. The South was pro-slavery, their economy was based off of agriculture, and wanted to expand their slave states. While there were many factors that led up to the Civil War, failure to compromise about the morality of slavery, politics, and the economy
After the war the even though slavery was abolished, African American still had very little rights, especially in the former Confederate states, this indicates that yes a big part of the war was fought because of slavery but since African Americans were still treated very poorly after the war, it shows that a large part of the war was fought more for states’ rights in general. These states still created laws and enacted legislation such as the Black Codes to try and show that even though they lost the war they still had their states’ rights to pass these laws. The Northern response to things such as the black codes was not so much a humanitarian response but more of a political move. Their protection of freedmen was mainly because they wanted
The Civil War was a result of one main topic, which was slavery. Slavery was a largely controversial issue that was considered by different people in many different ways. When the government seemed to take little action, some people decided to take their own actions, leading to further conflict. Many events led up to the war itself, however, including new territorial issues, the Compromise of 1850, and Lincoln's won election.
The Civil war is known to be the bloodiest American War, one that has tainted our history forever and is so significant that is taught to young children. The war had started with the whole conflict on how slavery should be handled with, leading to a bunch of arguments up in the North and the South. Until the south had said “Enough!” and decided to make its separate government for they had no longer agreed to the constitution and government, this is how the war had started. This war was about whether the south should be able to separate from the Union, it was only until the Emancipation Proclamation that everything had changed. That is when finally, when President Abraham Lincoln had decided to make the war about slavery. He made it all about
If the American Civil War had ended other than it did—or if the federal government and the northern states decided to pursue a negotiated separation from the south—residents of the Confederate States of America (CSA) might still be celebrating their Independence today.
Do you think there could have been another way to protect the institution of slavery instead of causing war? The Civil War began when the Confederates threatened and attacked the Union soldiers at Fort Sumter, South Carolina on April 12, 1861. The Civil War wasn't necessary for many reasons, there was a peaceful way out, their were many other ways to solve slavery, and young innocent people were dying. There were many different ways to solve slavery that were not the civil war. The slave South could have accepted the fair election of Abraham Lincoln.
The civil war began on April 12th, 1861, and ended on May 9th, 1865. It had lasted about four years. The war was between the North and South. Northern states fought to abolish slavery and southern fought for slavery and states rights. At the time our president was Abraham Lincoln. All battles were bloody and worth a fight. The result of the war reunited us together as one.
The Civil War was a conflict that helped shape America to become the country it is today. Though its foundation and origination are debated, historians agree that it was deadlier for Americans than the American Revolution, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam War. The North and South differed in many aspects, slavery being the most controversial. The South’s persistency and “free-labor” ideology, contrasted with the North’s attempts to stop its spread into their own region. Such mass destruction and casualties derived from conflicting issues that only grew as time went on, and with no room for compromises, war was irrepressible.
The cause of the American Civil War is known as one of the most controversial topics in American history. During the time period leading up to and during the Civil War period there were many issues that increasingly divided Americans. Since the founding of the colonies, the thirteen states had developed separately, and each had their own culture and beliefs creating large divides between the ideas held in the different states. The geographical and cultural differences between north and south would also start to create divides throughout the hundred years following the drafting of the constitution. The Union was constantly undergoing changes in order to be better and create an ideal lifestyle for Americans, yet the South did not agree with many of these changes and decided
Before the civil war began slaves in the United States had neither rights nor liberties. This would be particularly true in most southern states. The movement of the civil rights began slightly before the civil war had ended. Written by President Lincoln the Emancipation Proclamation was a small but undoubtable first important step, towards giving African American slaves freedom. Aimed towards the states that seceded from the union and which still contained slavery, this document was meant to free those slaves. And in turn allow them to enroll in the union army. With this added strength to the union, the south had no choice but to surrender. Although slavery did not completely end, it did give them the liberty to fight towards the common goal of freedom.
The Civil War was a great deal about slavery. Slavery was overwhelmingly the cause for example, the "states' right" always mentioned seems to have been the right to have slaves. IMHO. If you wanted to stop the war you needed to stop slavery.
