To claim that the Civil War was unlike any other war since is to dispute the claims of countless historians who view it as a prelude or prototype for the type of wars that followed‚ “Library shelves groan with works pointing to the Civil War as a harbinger of “total war” in its modern form.” This claim‚ as well as overlooking strategies and tactics that have been applied and evolved through subsequent wars‚ overlooks the significance of ideological warfare and policies of a central government such

I disagree to an extent that the civil war was the intended outcome of an effort to reform the monarchy and secure a stable government. Parliament wanted political reform in England but did not seek to abolish the monarchy or start a war‚ they just wanted a balance of power between the monarchy and parliament‚ however King Charles I refused to compromise. The first English civil war was caused by a political and religious divide across England‚ Scotland and Ireland and in parliament. Although England

The American Civil War was fought over few reasons‚ but slavery is thought to be the major reason for the war and even today‚ slavery is "front and center" as the reason for the war. Ultimately‚ the American Civil War was the result of economic‚ social‚ and political differences between the Northern States and the Southern States. As we all know‚ the South’s economy was driven by cotton grow‚ which needed a great work force‚ in this case slaves. Some of the Northern states had abolished slavery‚

The North and the South The North and South had similarities and differences in the 1800’s‚ but can the differences drive them to a civil war? Women were mad about having so little rights‚ slavery was being questioned‚ and the political parties couldn’t seem to agree. Women in the United States had little rights‚ but women in the North had more‚ but not where it really counted. In the North‚ women had ownership of their wages and property (Holt‚ pg. 427). New York demonstrated giving women more rights

I believe that the north should have won the war for many reasons; they had a lot of advantages over the south. The north had better equipment and supplies. They had better industrialization to make the supplies needed for the battles. Also there were many railroads to transport the troops and supplies that everybody needed. The north had a greater population than the south so that made them have an overall advantage while fighting. The North’s equipment was much better than the South’s. They could

After the Civil war‚ there was a time called the Reconstruction Period. This was a time where both the North and the South resituated after the war. In the North‚ not much changed after the war. Though while their industry progressed‚ they had lost thousands of men during the war. Also‚ very little property in the North was damaged so returning soldiers could go back to their farms or jobs. On the other hand‚ the South had lost many of their men and their slaves. Though the slaves were filled with

The Civil War has arguably been the most important event that America has undergone. The United State’s Civil War‚ also known as the War between the States‚ was fought from April 1861 until April 1865. The war was fought over the issues of slavery and the states’ rights. The Springfield‚ Spencer‚ Napoleon‚ and Gatling gun all helped the North and South in winning the Civil War. A large reason the North defeated the South was because of their advantage in weaponry. The North had a large railroad

Kansas played a big role in the Civil War before and after it became a state. While Kansas was becoming a state‚ there was an outrage on slavery in the United States. The Northern states fought for anti-slavery while the Southern states wanted to include slavery in the state. Kansas had many battles while in the Civil War‚ and the brave men of Kansas fought hard and long to protect their wives and children living with them in their state. Although many people were trying to make Kansas a confederate
