Civil War Survival Analysis
People always say that they will never do anything they don't feel comfortable doing when it comes to survival. Humans are not like lions with big teeth where they just kill any living thing that has meat; they do it for survival. Humans are capable to do the unexpected when it comes to survival. In the Civil War, there was a battle on a small island where soldiers were being starved to death. Rather than just waiting to die, the soldiers are the horses, pets, and even rats. They didn't have the tools to make a fire, so they had to eat them raw. Those soldiers went to a point to eat anything that had meat, for they just wanted to survive. Another point is that humans will kill to survive. In the t.v. show Chuck, Morgan had a 49. to

    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 began in 1961 and was sparked by many reasons which include slavery and a book named Uncle Tom’s cabin. Many believe that the war was fought over freedom, freedom of the slaves, this, however, was not the case. The war was essentially fought in order to preserve what they had, the south fought to preserve their beliefs and way of life while the north fought to preserve the union. However, the eager and willing compliance of African Americans throughout the civil war led to a signification alteration in the war goals. Therefore a later contribution to the new culture and politics that followed.…

    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…

    To be an effective soldier in the Civil War, a man needed to know much more than how to drill on the parade ground and how to fire his musket. It was mostly the hard school of experience that turned a green recruit fresh from his country home into a lean, weatherbeaten soldier who was able to march all night and fight all day on scant rations. Many volunteers did not survive long enough to make the transition. Adaptation to army discipline and regimentation was one of the first trials of the new soldier. The idea of showing respect to and obeying the orders of a higher-ranking soldier irrespective of that person's prewar social standing, family, or wealth required a major psychological adjustment for many men.…

    Before Civil War began, even as the country was being set up with the Articles of Confederation, slavery was an issue that had to be dealt with. When the final vote for the ratification of the Constitution some states would not sign on it if slavery were made illegal. They decided to deal with it in twenty years. After the compromise of 1820 they limited slavery to the south, which would split the country into two for the next forty years. The South would feel that slavery was the best thing for the slave for it gave them something productive to do. The North however as a majority felt slavery as a horrible thing by the cruel ways the slave owners would treat and beat their slaves. There were also those who went and helped free and bring slaves…

    The Civil War was a hard and long fought war with many battles, deaths, and injuries. In 1861 the Civil War began, but not before a series of events that reached the boiling point of both Northerners and Southerners. Three events that inflamed tensions between the North and South included the Compromise of 1850, the publishment of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and the election of 1860. The Civil War lasted about 4 years, and that was because the North and South had differing opinions on slavery.…

    There is much controversy and uncertainty about the reasons of why the Civil War started, and why it went on for so long. The Civil War is unusual not only in American History, but in world history as well because of the intensity and carnage of it. Men were taking up arms against their neighbors, fathers, sons, brothers, and friends to meet on the field of battle with only one mission: to kill one another. James McPherson wondered this, so he researched over 25,000 uncensored letters to friends and family, and almost 250 private diaries from soldiers fighting for the Confederacy and soldiers fighting for the Union. He then took what he learned and wrote the book For Cause and Comrades, and found…

    On April 12, 1861, the Confederacy declared war against the Union because both the South and the North had different outtakes on U.S problems. The Civil War began in 1861 and ended in 1865, but along the way it caused lots of geographic changes. Although it ended four years later, many problems damaged both sides of the United States, especially the South. Southern women faced starvation and poverty when their husbands and sons, who took care of the farms, went away to war. In the South, there were many riots by women demanding for supplies to provide for their families during this time. The Union would often steal crops and livestock from the South, causing the Southerners to have no food to give to their families.…

The U.S. is about to show a never before seen level of resilience as it rebuilds and reforms itself.…
