Why Is The Civil War Important

The Civil War The time period in history that I am most interested in learning more about is The Civil War. I would like to learn more about this time period because it was one of the most defining moments in American history. This time period is interesting to me because of all the implications that the Civil War would have on the future of America. This was a moment when our nation was divided between the North and the South and led to a war. The way our nations leaders responded to the division North and the South and how they affected the future of every American citizen. I would like to know more about Confederate Leaders and the goals they wanted for the future of the nation. Did our leaders have intentions of reuniting the country at any time after the war? Regardless
The Civil War was how America and its leaders responded to this crisis of our divided nation. Instead of this war ruining our great nation it gave us the chance to unite, grow, and prosper from our divided past. The battle of the Southern Confederates and Northern Union army tested our nation to its core but from the ashes of the civil war America arose as a powerful nation. This war decided that whether or not America was going to be a whole sovereign nation, or separately divided states that would operate similar to the current European Union. Going forward I would like to learn what would have happened had the North won the war instead of the South. Also to know about the era directly before and after the war, when citizens were dealing with consequences of government actions. The war was neighbors fighting neighbors and family fighting family so how the citizens interacted with each other and dealt with the losses from war. To know how the nation recovered and was brought back together is so interesting today that we get along as a whole and prosper as a
