The Civil War was the bloodiest war in American history‚ having more American casualties than both World Wars‚ the Vietnam war‚ the Korean war‚ and the Revolutionary War.

Cause and Effect: Slavery had a negative impact on the United States because it led to the Civil War‚ it led to a divided segregated nation‚ and it deprived African Americans of an equal opportunity to succeed.

The battles that took place in the civil war all had a significant impact on the union and the confederates. Many could justify which battles led up to the civil war‚ but I believe it to be these.
