Was the English Civil War a war of Religion? The English Civil Wars of 1642 to 1651 had religious connections indefinitely‚ yet to say that they were wars of religion is slightly blindsided.

Although America was far wealthier and technologically superior at this point‚ all their military might could not defeat the nation of Vietnamese peasants which formed the Vietcong.

At the end of the civil war roughly four million slaves were granted their freedom. However some argue that even though they were technically free they still had great discrimination against them. They could not function like a regular‚ free man because of the little rights they held. Even with new laws they could not use these rights and it actually became more dangerous to be free than before.

Was the American civil war inevitable? The civil war was inevitable‚ only however‚ after one key event; the cotton gin made the civil war inevitable. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793 was the key element which enabled the south to have sufficient vested interest in their traditional lifestyle in order to feel the need to defend it at all costs even from their Northern countrymen. The core argument of this essay centres around the evidence which clearly defines their being in existence two
