    Conflicts widened between the North and the South as two sides collided in every event before the Civil War. The North and the South were very different in many ways. They were known as two different countries because of their cultural and economic differences. The disagreements between the North and the South aggravated the separation that was soon to follow.

    Examining the Civil War

    A war that originated because the nation was divided ultimately marked the beginning of a truly unified United States. The Civil War put to rest the increasing sectionalism that divided the North, the South, and the newly colonized West. At the root were the issues of slavery in the South, and the attempt of the Southern states to withdraw from the Union. Although many lives and untold millions were lost in personal belongings, livestock, and structures, the Civil War set in motion the progression towards a unified Nation. During the 18th and 19th century, slavery was a very significant aspect of the development of the nation. The economic, social, and political development of the nation during this period was directly associated to slavery even though society condemned it as morally wrong. The following will detail the significance of slavery in the economic, social, and political development of the 18th and 19th century America. Additionally details will show the economic, social, and political impacts of the conflict as well as why a democratic nation failed to address the crisis peacefully.…

    The 2nd American revoultion; the civil war

    The civil war has often been called "The second American Revolution," primary because many Americans actually thought they were once again fighting for their freedom and rights. While this is true, the Civil War itself was revolutionary. It was revolutionary in the political, social and economic conduct of the war.

    The Civil War: the Confederate-Southern Perspective

    We are often taught in grade school the Union (or Northern view) of the Civil War because that is who won the war. In retrospect, both sides should be taught in American history, since, after all, this was a war with ourselves over differences. How different the nation would be if the South had won. Would we still engage in slavery? Would the United States have a completely different moral and ethical code in business? What of the impact of religion? Politically, how would our nation then be ran? These are just a few of the questions raised as I began my journey in search of Confederate ideals and Southern reasons for the war. In every story, there are three sides. With the Civil War, there is the Northern side, the Southern side and then there is the truth. While not all truths may be discovered, my purpose here to is to understand the defenses in which the Confederates believed they were fighting for. Business, politics, slavery and abolition, differences between Northerners and Southerners beliefs and values are all pieces to the puzzle that eventually led to the war.…

    The Civil War in Alabama

    Throughout history, America has been involved in many wars. No war hit quite as close to home as the Civil War. Brothers fought against brothers, and families were torn apart. Living in the United States during this time was rough, but living in the south was even harder. Tuscaloosa, being so close to the University of Alabama, played a significant role in the Civil War; it is important to understand Tuscaloosa’s involvement in the Civil War. The University of Alabama’s campus holds a significant piece of history from the Civil War, along with its military school history, and ultimately being the site of the attack on Tuscaloosa.…

    The Mexican-American Civil War

    1861, the year when brother fought brother and American blood was shed on American soil for the first time. The main cause of the American Civil War is a controversial issue that continues to be the topic of much debate. Nevertheless, it is apparent that the Mexican-American War had a great deal to do with it. It is not however, the only factor that contributed to the Civil War. The Mexican-American War only heightened issues that were already present, such as slavery. Similarly, the road to the Civil War is paved with different stones such as the Dred Scott case and the Nullification Crisis as well.…

    Controversial Events In American History: The American Civil War

    The American Civil War was one of the most significant and controversial periods in American history, in where Americans killed each other (about 600,000 men died) and still, some of the past arguments on state’s rights are still argued today. The Civil War was a matter of south versus north, confederacy (Southern States) versus The Union (Northern States). Northern states claimed that if the Southern slaves were property, then they should not be counted toward voting representation in Congress. Southerners argued that the slaves were human beings, and eventually came to accept the three-fifths compromise, by which five slaves counted as three free men toward that representation. But who was right?…

    The Civil War: Extensive Changes In American Life

    The Civil War produced extensive changes in American life. The most dramatic of these was the destruction of slavery, the vital establishment of southern society. In numbers, scale, and the economic power of the institution of slavery, American emancipation overshadow that of any other country although far more people were freed in 1861 when Czar Alexander II abolished serfdom in the Russian empire. Lincoln initially insisted that slavery was irrelevant to the conflict. In the war’s first year, his top concerns were to keep the border slave states: Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri in the Union and to build the widest base of support in the North for the war effort.…

    To What Extent Was War a Catalyst for the Development of Civil Rights in the United States in the Period 1877 to 1981?

    The Spanish American war of 1898 was the first major conflict after the Emancipation. Twenty five thousand troops were used with two thousand five hundred ‘Buffalo Soldiers’. Blacks sought to prove their bravery to the nation and in doing so strike a blow against the Jim Crow laws forced on them in the south. These segregated whites and blacks in all aspects of political and social freedom, although meant to be treated with equality to all other citizens a second rate race. Black soldiers marching across Northern America were greeted by mixed cheering crowds but when crossing the south by train they were spat on and insulted showing the huge divide remaining after the civil war. The African-American community showed strong support for the rebels…
