Civil War Inevitable Analysis
Sara
I too agree that the Civil War was inevitable. However, your evaluation of the North and South is on point. The war was bound to happen, however, the southern never, had a chance. The North had more people, money, and resources (Ethan, 2003). Nevertheless, the South seems to focus on how many blacks they could keep in slavery. I believe if the politician had a different mind frame maybe there would have been a different outcome. Therefore throughout history, tasteless politician have destroyed themselves.

    Kingdom: ProtisIntro: The Civil War was an event that was inevitable occurrence in the course of history. The main cause of the war was slavery, which could not have been stopped if it were not for the war. Since the north and the south were so distant, it made it hard for them to agree or compromise. The Civil War could not have been avoided because the nation including political parties were split, no other compromises could settle issues about slavery, and slave rebellions could not of been prevented.…

    “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Abraham Lincoln uttered these words on June 17, 1858 at the Republican state convention in Illinois. Three short years later, the first shots of the Civil War would be fired at Fort Sumter. Brothers fighting brothers, killing 620,000 of their own. This would be the start of the bloodiest war in American history. The debate over popular sovereignty, the conflicting opinions on slavery, and the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin all lead to the inevitable declaration of a civil war.…

    David Blight is a professor at Yale University, in the artical he has written "The Civil War Isn't Over" he claims we fail to do one of the two things in Reconstruction. The Civil war was a devastating battle within the United States in which 1 out of 5 men died, and as many as 750,000 sailors and soilders lost their lives. After the North's victory, it seemed as though torture and injustice was over. In fact, the unfair treatment of African Americans pushed foward well into the next century. While reconstruction's main focus was healing and justice, the North primarily focused on the healing aspect. If anything the former slaves were treated worse, when they lost their jobs they were left on the street, then fined a ridiculus price that could only be paid off by working. Though the former slaves had the right to own land, the white southerns were able to take a…

    I had originally thought that the main cause of the Civil War was slavery; however, after my research I now believe the true cause of the Civil War is much more complex. I mostly agree with agree with Holt and his theory that the political crisis caused the Civil War. While reading Holt’s essay I became convinced that slavery alone couldn’t have caused the Civil War because the tension over slavery had existed for so long before the Civil War. It was the destruction of the previous two party system that left the South feeling politically stranded which lead to the Civil War. This viewpoint was supported by my research on Jefferson Davis for the meeting of the minds. Davis felt that the South was losing faith in the political system because…

    The civil war began with the attack on Fort Sumter and the war was inevitable according to text. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came." What the quote says is both sides despised war, but the North would rather fight than let the nation split, and the South would accept war rather than surrender. With the South making the first attack, it makes Lincoln more justified to fight the war. President Lincoln brings positive outcomes of the civil war, unlike the South, they want to keep slavery. Men and women were brutally whipped sometimes murdered and forced to work all day. Women were raped and children were put to work at a young age.…

    Why the South Lost the War

    “A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.” These words, spoken by Abraham Lincoln during his campaign to be a senator from Illinois, ring eerily true with the truth about the country’s uncertain future. Only three short years after Lincoln gave this speech, civil war would break out between the northern and southern states, and it would end four years later with the South running away with its tail between its legs. Why did the South lose the war? The South entered into the Civil War unprepared to fight and, ultimately, was starting a fight it was destined to lose. In the end, there were five factors that led to the defeat of the South: The fundamental economic superiority of the North, a basic lack of sound military strategy strategy in the way the South fought the war, the inept Southern performance in foreign affairs, lack of a dominating civilian leader in the South, and President Abraham Lincoln (Hersch, 2002).…

    2) I think the Civil War was inevitable because of the federal government’s treatment and sometimes babying of the South. As stated earlier, every time the South wanted something (increased federal protection of slavery, expansion of slavery. etc.) or were against a law passed (Tariff – Nullification Crisis of 1832) their go-to method of getting their way was to threaten secession from the union. I think the fact that the federal government sometimes entertained them was what made the South so bold into thinking that they could pull that card if the North was not behaving in the way that they wanted them to in order to get what they wanted.…
