The Consequences Of The Civil War: My Favorite Time In History

The Civil War was a defining time in American history as the outcome of the war determined what kind of nation America would become. Due to uncompromising

The Civil War changed americans because of how everyone argued and they all went to war about state rights and slavery. Among the 34 states, seven Southern slave states individually declared their separation from the rest of the states to form the Confederate States of America. So many people didn't agree with slavery so they went to war to solve the conflict. They fought for 4 years and 620,000 to 750,000 soldiers died. The result of the American Civil War was that slavery abolished, territory integrity was preserved, and union victory.

Although the horrors of the American Civil War and Reconstruction within Indian Territory were fresh. Yet, the presence of Indian Territory changed drastically between 1865 and 1889, because of the “Second Trail of Tears”, the unrest of the Southern Plains tribes of western Indian Territory, and the impact of U.S. Polices on Indian Territory.

The Civil War marked a defining moment in United States history, the Civil War started in April 1861. Some of the groups that were in the Civil War were the Unions, Confederates, and the Cherokee Indians. They all had different ideas on how to live their lives, some thought that what one side was doing was

In April of 1865 the United States was changing for the better and it was often named, “The year that changed America.” It was the last year of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln was president. The North and South continued to fight over slavery and freedom, so far the North was winning more battles and had great advantages over the South. At this time, Ulysses S. Grant was commander over the Unions while Robert E. Lee was the commander of the Confederates. There are many reasons why this last year of the Civil War saved America.

The Civil War was a huge devastation for the United States, and the war that was going to determine if the U.S. would be broken into states or become an indivisible nation. The primary conflict of the Civil War was the difference that the North and South had about slavery. The North wanted to ban slavery, but the South wanted to continue having their slaves to do manual labor for them. The Union won, but not without the loss of 625,000 lives (McPherson 1).

The American Civil War was a time wrought with peril. Families were split along party lines and took up arms against one another to fight for what they believed was right. Yet there was one group of people who had more to gain than any other present in the war, and that was the African American slave. This war was one of the biggest turning points in the morality of America all because of what happened to the slave in this war. They enlisted in the army, fought bravely, and after long last, gained their freedom.

The Civil War was fought for rights and a dream.” Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation,conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are equal.”The Civil war was one of the most deaths from the same country. 6200 of 24 million soldiers were killed in the war.” The brave men,living and dead,who struggled here.” The North and south fought for Authority but in the end came together.In 1854 the law to end slavery was suggested. In all the Civil War took the lives of many U.S

Interpreting the consequences and causations of the American Civil war is a complex and multifarious issue that is defined by two predominant archetypes, the revisionist and fundamentalist viewpoints. The multiple revisionist viewpoints emphasize different interpretations of the origins and significance of the Civil War such as a Southern constitutional viewpoint, politics, economics, sectional differences between the North and South, or the great slave power conspiracy. Moreover, while some of these arguments are compelling the revisionist approach is insufficient in elucidating the incipient sectional tensions, during the 1850s, that brought about the American Civil War. Furthermore, the most efficacious way for historians to interpret the American Civil war is through a lens of multiple causality that focuses predominately on a fundamentalist approach. Consequently, slavery served as the central nexus and catalyst that enflamed the sectional tensions of the North, and South.

The Civil War is known as a turning point in America, the road to ending slavery, while first turning a nation against each other.

Following the Civil War, the Government acquired the task of reassembling the country in a way that would not destroy the peace that had come since the war’s end. Reconstruction centered around striking a balance between the rights of African Americans and white Southerners in order to create a sense of equality in America. Before his untimely death in 1865, Lincoln had begun the task of putting the country back together with the 10% plan. He aimed to pardon every southern Confederate, and readmit each state if 10% of its voters, determined by the election of 1860, took an oath of loyalty. Lincoln allowed the states to adopt a new constitution as long as it prohibited slavery (Ash n.p). Within the next five years, the Thirteenth,

A country once polarized upon different beliefs, ideals, and values resulted in one of the most pivotal events of our country’s character that did more than just unify a nation. At the expense of 620,000 men, two opposing sides shed their blood, sweat, and tears fighting for a cause that pushed them to sacrifice their lives and their homes on the frontlines. The North’s desire for unification and the South’s urge to preserve its institution eventually brought our country into a period of bloodshed. The obvious answer is that the war brought along freedom of around four million people in which altered the lives of Americans, however there is a great deal more to be said about the legacy of the Civil War. Even now, the war creates a lasting shadow that continues to impact America. The war transformed the political, social, and economic scene, and led to advancements in technology and health-care that created a huge mile stone for the future. Within such a short time period, our nation became larger, more active, and more assertive globally. Although its legacy has left an impression on our improvements today, the memory of the war still maintains its influence on the hearts and minds of the South. As many continue to reminisce the war’s detrimental impact, personal tie, and lost cause, the iconic battles of 1861 to 1865 remain mentally and politically potent forces in the lives of Southerners through its sustained relevance and the unrelenting Confederate mindset

“The US Civil War was incontrovertibly the bloodiest, most devastating conflict in American history, and it remains unknown - and unknowable - exactly how many men died in Union and Confederate uniform” (Nasaw, 2012). At the end of the American Civil War, in 1865 slavery was abolished, the military was greatly enhanced, and the great nation of America became whole again with the North and South being brought together.

The Civil War ended slavery and helped the nation settle its disputes between the Union and Confederacy, which kept the nation together. Without the war occurring, slavery could have been legal for longer or even still legal today. Another possibility is that the nation would be divided by the north and south halves. This is why I believe that the Civil War was necessary.

Civil wars are just a sign that even people who are closely related by society, culture, history, and geography, can have deep and disruptive differences. Civil war has also been connected with in many example, and for many people, it is considered the most shameful kind of war, “All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.”
