The Civil War change how America is, how its run, and the feelings of people today. Both sides were fighting over what they believed in and what would put more money in there pockets. The Confederates were fighting the Union over keeping slaves because without the slaves the South wouldn’t have as much money so they were doing the fighting for money. The Union thought that having slaves or calling someone your property was inhumane and was against their religion to do such a thing, also it didn’t really effect their economy.
The Union had many meetings with the Confederates but it seemed like every time they tried to resolve things, it only started another argument that drew them only more apart. Eventually, the Union and Confederates stopped trying to have peaceful resolutions and just continued the battle. This is like a real time event in Iraq where the U.S. is trying to help out Iraq but only wants U.S. to leave but we have decided to stay.
Both sides had ups and downs to the war but the South had more downs then ups but the North also had a major problem. The North had everything they need to fight the war except for trained soldiers to fight their battles and many were poorly or not even trained for battle. The South on the other hand had very good soldiers and generals for good strategies but were very poor when it came to their economic and government strengths.
The slaves had a very hard time transitioning to the war. Some slaves fled their land owners when they went into battle, some went to the North for a better life, and others stayed where they were because they only knew about the agricultural business so they decided to stay where they were needed. But even after the war was over, the blacks were still discriminated and in that result, organizations were formed like the KKK which still does exist today that used to do violent crimes.
So the outcome of the Civil War even though it happened over 200 years ago, it still has left an impact in U.S. history. After the war it left new discoveries for weapons and better ways to protect, manage, and keep our economy healthy. Many people died that casualties in World War 2 then couldn’t add up to the casualties in the Civil War.
