The American Civil War has without a doubt left a permanent divide on this great nation’s past and present. American historians still debate the causes of a war that began in 1861 between the Union states and Confederacy states. The war can be seen as caused by the principle of slavery, the growing tension between northern and southern ideology or due to a crack in the political system of the time. United States’ history classes focus on teaching students different views as to the origin of the Civil War. Three renowned American historians who explore this topic beautifully are Eric Foner, James G. Randall, and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. Foner provides the best explanation to the origin of

How did the tensions of the 1860’s show the human side of the Civil War? The people in the 1860’s were going through hard times because of the Civil War. It affected people of all different genders, ages, races, and religions. It was especially hard for three groups of people: women, children, and African Americans. In battle or not,many of these people suffered greatly.

Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.

As the Civil War came to a conclusion, there were a lot of problems facing the nation, especially the South. Land in the South was in ruins. Homeless refugees, both African-American and white needed food, shelter, and work. Americans were forced to reach down deep and overcome a lot of adversity to bring the North and South together as one.

We decided to focus on the south with the Civil War because we knew it was a big event in history that changed many lifes. We wanted to focus on the South because they lost the Civil War so not many people knew something about them. At first our topic was women in the South, but we weren’t really finding anything on that. Nobody seemed to to care enough to write. Since we already started researching Civil War in the south (with women), why don’t we do the Civil War in the south? As we continued our research, we found more on the Civil War in the south and some on why the south lost the civil war.

Throughout the Civil War, there were many different types of warfare. Amongst the common Union and Confederate soldiers, many men fought on either side in different types of irregular military forces. These forces, along with regular soldiers, contributed to the many styles of warfare. Three prominent warfare styles during the Civil War were regularly trained soldiers, bushwhackers, and guerrilla soldiers. The majority of battles were fought by official Union or Confederate soldiers. These battles typically had some sort of organization and were not extremely violent. A large portion of the remainder of the fighting was done by guerrilla soldiers or bushwhackers. The attacks carried out by the guerrilla soldiers were more violent,

Tensions grew between the North and the South causing what is known as the worse war tragedies of all time. The American Civil War was the bloodiest war in our history of the United States killing over 620,000 American soldieries. Many African Americans around 1861-1865 lost a family member or someone close to them. This war effected both sides of the nation, for both the North and the South. African Americans also were killed in this war being that they fought in it too. Slaves, southern people and northern people were effected mentally and physically after this war. The southern economy became a one crop economy because as the cotton gin was invented factories depended on the cotton during slavery. On the other hand, the northern economy was based more on industry than agriculture by ++purchasing the raw cotton and turning it into finished goods. This disagreement between the North and the South made a major difference in the economy.

II. The Southern states were forced to secede because the North had more people and states and because of this they were able to take control of the government and elect a pro Union President, and along with that the abolitionistists and were getting more brutal.

The Northern and Southern states have always had their problems prior to the Civil War. One of the problems before the Civil War was the decision of weather new states and U.S territories should be free or not. The government proceeded to make compromise after compromise which none of theses kept the states happy for very

The Civil War is by far the bloodiest war in American history. In the four deadly years of war, over six-hundred thousand Americans were killed. Many disputes that led to the civil war. These conflicts started even before the presidency of James Buchanan, who was a Democrat elected in the election of 1856. The issue of slavery, states’ rights, the abolitionist movement, the Southern secession, the raid on Harper’s Ferry, the election of Abraham Lincoln all contributed to the start of the Civil War. The War and its aftermath transformed the entire nation by unifying the United States, abolishing slavery, and led to the American Industrial Revolution.

The Civil War and the late 1800’s brought change. Though it was a time rebuilding, despair and much loss there rose a political revolution. This political revolution derived from the Civil War and helped shape the world into what it is today. As the Civil War was fought there was a change in political parties, there were new Acts and Amendments passed at the time, and Lincoln’s assassination. With these changes the Civil War was pushed into a new direction and propelled into the future.

In this day and age, we find ourselves at odds with our “identity” as we find that not only are we representing ourselves, but we also have ties to religion, sect, tribe, and family (Angrist). This shows that despite the cohesiveness and threads that attach us, it has the power to pull people, families, and in some cases countries apart. This conflict comes to a head when religion and ethnicity are interwoven. Hence when divisions occur, this can lead to violent wars that destroy trust between individuals. This can ingrain a sense of uneasiness and distrust that plagues people’s ideas and leaves a country divided. This is particularly evident in Lebanon. Ethnic and religious division led to the festering of feelings of marginalization and discrimination, which boiled over into the Lebanese civil war, a war that claimed the lives of 150,000 people (Szekely). The anger and frustration birthed from this to chaos, and conflict has in turn increased the division between ethnic and religious factions and led to the crumbling of Lebanese nationalism. This essay is specifically aimed at assessing the relationships between ethnic and religious divisions in Lebanon and explores how it contributed to the civil war. This is done by identifying and analyzing the main actors and makes an explanation of the historical divisions stemming from the National Pact, branching out to include the consequences of the civil war on the political structures and the identities of the

For more than 25 years in the late 20th century and into the 21st, the island nation of Sri Lanka tore itself apart in a brutal civil war.  At the most basic level, the conflict arose from ethnic tension between Sinhalese and Tamil citizens.  Of course, in reality the causes are more complex, and arise in large part from Sri Lanka 's colonial legacy.
