America redefined the Civil War in many ways. The North and South fought over their rights to end slavery. North fought for the right to keep slavery. South fought to end slavery. The South never wanted to have the slaves‚ but the North said that they had to have slaves. They fought because they were unable to come up with a civil solution.
