At the Civil War’s end current president Abraham Lincoln addressed the broken nation as a beacon of hope and reconciliation. However, after his assassination Andrew Johnson became president; Where Lincoln wanted for a peaceful and brotherly reconciliation Johnson though the south unworthy of the mercy the deceased president had extended to them. In many ways the reconstruction seemed like a total and utter fail- however some splendid outcomes did emerge from this event. “Republicans hoped to reconstruct the south by enabling African Americans to own land and become full citizens” instead this plan failed when Johnson allowed white southerners to keep the land and implemented ‘Share Cropping’ (Borstelmann et al.
INTRO: Reconstruction; the most conflicting era in the United States history. Coming directly after the Civil War from 1865 thorough 1877, Reconstruction played a major part in the Land of the Free’s backstory. Throughout Reconstruction many things occurred within the North and South due to chaos within the government system, neighborhoods, and social classes. The creator of Reconstruction and the 16th president, Abraham Lincoln created the idea of Reconstruction in the South while the Civil War was going on.
During the period of the American Civil war, the two fighting sides had some differences but also many similarities. Both armies, the Confederate and Union, had many volunteers. The men fighting were fighting for what they believed. The results would change the lives of millions of slaves and the lives of the plantation farmers who used the slaves. On both sides the camps were in rough conditions, disease, small rations, and battles over stimulated soldiers senses.
The South after the Civil War suffered the most. Since the war had been fought almost entirely on Southern soil, the North did not have to face the task of rebuilding. The South sustained immense damage, entire cities laid in ruins, and thousands of people lacked the ability to provide food and shelter for themselves. The Reconstruction was necessary because it helped the South become part of the union again. The Reconstruction proved to have many successes. Through President Lincoln’s efforts the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments were all ratified.
Deliverance and emancipation began for many slaves the very day when Union Soldiers reached the townships and territories of the slave-holding states. Countless southern landowners and their families walked away from their plantations and farms as the war approached, and every city or location where the Union soldiers stepped, they were greeted by more and more African Americans looking for safety and refuge within the ranks of the Union forces. At the end of the war effort, approximately 4.2 million slaves were set free; however, these newly freedmen had absolutely nothing. Frederick Douglas said, “The freedmen were let alone – by everyone but their enemies” (Sterling, 1976). Nearly all were homeless, uneducated and all they had ever known
Have you ever thought to yourself, “Hey, could the Civil War have been avoided? And what could they have done to get rid of slavery sooner?” Well, all of your burning questions about whether or not the notorious Civil War could have been avoided are about to be answered. The Civil War is well-known for the many people who died fighting in it.
The Revolution War was a war that Americans are never going to forget. It’s also the war that formed and shaped America. Great Britain is another country that will never forget The Revolution War.

They believe that a great powerful country like them couldn’t possibly lose to a small group of colonies.
April 12, 1861 is the date that changed the lives of all Americans as a nation. It was the day that the Civil War happened. Differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories had not yet become states. But when the Confederate warship bombarded the Union soldiers at Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861, the fatal four-year Civil War began. It was clear that warfare would last for many months, perhaps even years.
The Civil War, a time at which our country was divided North from South, each side had their own political, economic, social, and demographic advantages. Before the Civil War started, the two sides relied on each other quite a bit. When the two sides split, all the cooperation between the north and south seized to exist. The two now separate countries rely independent economys.
It is well known that the Civil War is one of the worst manmade disasters to happen on American soil. Many know when it ended, 1865, and it safe to say that almost all Americans know who the victor was. While the Union Army may have won the Civil War, it can be argued that they lost the War of Reconstruction. After the war, racial tensions are at an all-time high as newly freed slaves divide the South into two groups. The first would be the people who want to hold on to how southern society was before the war, they are still loyal to the ideas of the Confederacy.

The Civil War: Why It Was Worth It The Civil War was the bloodiest war ever fought in American history. Over 700,000 people lost their lives in the Civil War, which is more than the American deaths in World War I and World War II put together. Estimates of financial costs run as high as $5 billion, about $86.24 billion today, including cost of war by both governments, physical damage, and lost wages. The Civil War, a defining moment in American history, shaped the nation in profound ways.

Like in the United Kingdom, parliament still holds power in the U.K... Giving power to certain parts of the government or taking the power away as well.
The Civil War did not start as a revolution1. But it did not opt to execute the Monarchy and later on superseded it with the Republic. War arose towards parliament and religion engaging about a series of event which excalated into armed conflict2. Charles1 had the power to rule with the Divine Rights of Kings. By the will of God, he mentally conceived he would be an Allegiant king to his people and ergo his zeal could not be Judged3.
Arguments both for and against this paper could be made on theoretical grounds. On the one hand, one could argue, as Thompson (2007; 56) and Spalding (2009; 64), among others, asserts, that “interstate war (in contrast to civil war) can lead to a strengthening of states, by forcing participant states to strengthen their power in order to survive. On the other hand, it can be argued that “states or the state system have changed, and that war is unlikely to have such effects in contemporary conditions”. (Thompson 2007; Spalding 2009).
