    The Civil War Basic Summary

    The battle of Fort Sumpter was important because it motivated the North to gather an army and begin fighting. It was a big mistake of the South not to allow the Union to bring supplies to the fort. Another important conflict was the ship Alabama, made for the Confederacy by Britain. Then Britain bought two battle ships that the South was building, to avoid starting a war with the North and having them invade Canada. The battle of Bull run is important because it led to the South being overconfident in their victory. The Seven Days Battle was significant because it demonstrated to the North and President Lincoln that total war against the South was necessary.…

    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.

    Civil War: The United States In The 19th Century

    When the Founding Fathers of America gathered to sign The Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, their meeting marked the beginning of America’s separation from Britain. Little did they know, the South would recreate such an event 90 years later when it would secede from the Union. This act of secession would spark the Civil War, which claimed “more than half a million lives and a million wounded.” In the 19th century, a majority of the population started to reflect on itself, in particular, its practices and customs. This introspection resulted from demographic pressures caused by technological advancement, unfavorable legislation, modernized thoughts, and incompetent leaders. Such factors contributed to creating varying perspectives…

    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.…

    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.…
