The Pros And Cons Of The American Civil War

Freedmen’s Bureau that helped distribute food, supplies, and land to the freed slaves, this remained a positive throughout the reconstruction. Furthermore positives added to the redevelopment of the south including Lincoln’s Ten-Percent Plan and the 13th and 15th amendment, which remained perserved. Lincoln’s plan agreed to allow each secessionist state to rejoin only after a new constitution was reestablished on their behalf. The majority of the Civil War reconstruction was a failure but there were few positives that kept hope alive for former slaves.

The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states, and they wanted to prohibit slavery in the territories that haven’t became states yet. President Abraham Lincoln won the election in 1860 and at the time he was pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven states in the South created a new nation which was called the Confederate army. Most of the North which was the Union army didn’t agree with the South, so that’s when

The Civil War, an event resulted from a nation being torn apart by its own differences. “A house divided by itself cannot stand.”, as claimed by Abraham Lincoln. A gruesome war between the Northern part of the U.S. (the Union) and the Southern part of the U.S. (the Confederacy), the Civil War took place mainly in the South and lasted from 1861 to 1865. The political differences, economic differences, and idealistic slavery differences between the North and the South are what caused the Civil War.

Was the result of the Civil War set in stone? The Union winning the Civil War was inevitable. The Union had many more resources and would always have beaten the Confederacy. The Union had a higher population, they were more industrialized, and had more farms. The amount of advantages the Union had compared to the Confederacy is indisputable.

The Civil War was a war fought between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America. There was a great divide between the North and South because of slavery, states rights, and expansion. The war was fought to preserve the Union, but eventually it became more focused on slavery. In the end, the North won the Civil War, because of their industrial economy, winning the Battle of Gettysburg, and the Emancipation Proclamation.

The Civil War arose through the desire of southern states that wanted to secede from the Union when Abraham Lincoln became the sixteenth president of the United States. These states believed that Lincoln’s point of abolition of slavery would harm them. Therefore, they declared for the secession. However, the Federal Government never wanted the separation in the country, so they rejected this declaration and tried to preserve the Union. This led to the Civil War in which the Federal Government got the final winning.

The Civil War teaches us the importance of utilizing founding principles for political guidance. President Lincoln summarized the conflict of the Civil War when he stated, “’A house divided against itself cannot stand,’ I believe this government cannot endure permanently, half slave and half free.”

In the 1860s there was a war between the North and South otherwise known these two groups were known as the Union and the Confederates. This war was called the civil war, reasons of its occurrence may seem simple but there was complex reasoning that led to the occurence of the civil war. These events could include slavery, economic differences, and cultural differences. Many believe that the only cause for the civil war was slavery but there was much that went into the beginning of the civil war. It started as differences between their economies which include industrialization in the North and agricultural in the South. Then these differences evolved into different opinions on culture and politics. The final tipping point into the civil war

After the American Revolution, the plantation systems of the south greatly expanded slavery in the United States. The Southern states relied on this slave labor for workers in their fields. This created tension everywhere, politically, economically, and socially. Many felt it was unjust to own a human being and the treatment of these slaves was horrible. These tensions were so strong that it became a major component to the nation-wide crisis, which resulted in the Civil War. Non-slaving holding Americans used forms of anti-slavery agitation to try to persuade slave-holding people to see their side. After the Civil War ended and the abolishment of slavery was put into law, the problem of race was not over. It provided freedom to millions of enslaved Americans and was a major social shift in the United States.

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”1 These words, spoken by Abraham Lincoln, foreshadowed the war that became the bloodiest in all of the United State's history. The Civil War was a brutal conflict between the North and South; brother against brother. With slavery as the root cause, Southern states had seceded from the Union and were fighting for their independence. They became the Confederate States of America (CSA) and were a force to be reckoned with. The Union, however, put up a fierce struggle to preserve the country. If the Civil War was to be a war of attrition, the North had the upper hand because of its large population, industrialization, raw materials, railroad mileage, and navy. But if the war was short lived, the

The Civil War was a time of fighting within the United States brought on by many events including the Missouri Compromise, abolition movement, presidential election of 1860, secession of Southern states, and other occurrences. Most Southern states seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate States of America. The big divide stemmed from the differing positions on slavery. The North had been gradually abolishing slavery and did not depend on such free labor in the way the South did. The agricultural dependant economy of the South relied on African American labor. Therefore, each side feared the stance the government would take on the issue of slavery and how that would affect the economy and politics of the nation. From 1861 to 1865, the

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 civil war, fought from 1861-1865, was started after seven southern slave states declared their secession and formed the Confederate states. The Union had many advantages that, ultimately, led them to victory. The had many political, economic, and military benefits that aided them in their victory.

The Civil War was fought in the United States of America between the northern and southern states starting in 1861 and ending in 1865. The Civil War was the most significant time in the history of America. The Civil War was to be thought as the shaping of the American individual. The northerners and the southerner’s views on this war were different. The northerners viewed it as a revolutionary war and the southerners viewed it as rebellion. The war started out due to the many differences between the northern and southern states. Between these two regions laid economic, social and political differences, with slavery being the main root of the differences. As the war ended it caused many social and economic changes. One huge change was the abolishment of slavery. Race relation and slave confusions were tearing up the country’s political and social architecture. I believe that the Civil War has changed the way we look at this world today because once the Civil War came to an end it abolished slavery.

A Civil War is a battle between the same citizens in a country. The American Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 to determine the independence for the Confederacy or the survival of the Union. By the time Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1861, in the mist of 34 states, the constant disagreement caused seven Southern slave states to their independence from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America. The Confederacy, generally known as the South, grew to include eleven states. The states that remained devoted to the US were known as the Union or the North. The number one question that is never completely understood about the Civil War is what caused the war. There were multiple events that led to the groundbreaking, bloody, and political war.
