A question that everyone asks themselves. What if the outcome of the civil war would have been different? What if the south would have won the war? The nation as we know it would be different. First off, all the trigger events in the civil war would have changed.
Everyone goes through rough or unstable times throughout their life. When I was younger my grandmothers both passed away, just one year apart. My mom always told me that everything happens for a reason and things are going to get better in the long run. Hardships can effect someone by affecting their state of stability.
Although the North and South had many advantages over one another, they each had as many disadvantages. The North had to conquer a large amount of land in order to win the Civil War. They were also invading unfamiliar land. The North may of had a strong Navy, but overall their soldiers were not properly skilled compared to the South. The South did have the advantage of good officers to train the soldiers, but they had very few people for the job.
Geography's effect on the early North American colonies is undeniable, but the way location affected the people of the early colonies is much more significant. Primarily, the economy was the biggest aspect of life affected by geography. From the Atlantic Ocean acting as a barrier from the New World to the Old World, and to the climate difference between the cold winters of the New England colonies to the hot summers in the Southern colonies, each played a central role in the development of the colonies. Good or bad, geography was always an essential factor economically for those who lived in the early southern, middle, and northern colonies. Geography has continually influenced the way people live and the early colonies were no different.
The 1861-65 Civil War is widely considered a defining moment in American history. The outbreak of the war was the culmination of slow-burning sectional tensions, which came to a head with the secession of 11 Southern slaveholding states from the Union and the subsequent formation of the Confederacy. However, what initially began as a political disagreement quickly escalated into a conflict in April 1861 when the Confederacy insisted on their right to leave, which was met with vehement opposition by the loyal states. In the four years that fighting lasted, between 627,000 and 761,000 soldiers lost their lives alongside an indeterminate number of civilian casualties thus cementing the war as America’s deadliest ever conflict (Hacker 307). Whereas
With air-conditioning, skyscrapers, interstates, rural improvement to shopping malls, the new South was no more plainly separated from the rest of the country. The political, economic and social change in the South brought historical movements, belief systems and patterns into the Modern South. I will be concentrating on Modern South 's political parties, social identities, culture wars, environmental conditions and change in economic aspects in the middle of WWII and today. By the most recent years of the twentieth century, the Republican Party had turned into a noteworthy power in the South.
During the Civil War, there were many places where it looked like the South was going to win. However, the North were the victors. They had many things going for them. Two of these were their advantages that you can put a number on and the role of African Americans in the war.
In order to answer the question, certain terms need to be defined. A concept is a general notion or idea. Conclusions are the final, reasoned parts of a decision. Thus, the question is asking do the ideas, or schemas, developed by an individual affect deductions or decisions made.
The Civil War, a war between the North and Southern states in the United States Union, could not have been avoided. For almost a hundred years the United States has given themselves freedom from England and has created their own government from scratch, but one thing that has never been resolved throughout the United States’ history so far is the issue of slavery. There have been many actions throughout American History that led to the Civil War, a few of these may have contributed more though. On October 2, 1800 a future slavery activist was born, this child was Nat Turner.
Many people think of slavery beginning in America, but that is incorrect. Slavery originally began in Egypt. The Egyptians began using slaves to do their work for them. Work that the slaves would do for them is military, civic work, and domestic servitude. Even the Egyptians used Africans for slavery.
Around 35 years after the civil war had ended, the South was still left producing a smaller percentage of the nation’s manufactured goods than it had before the war. However, in the 1880s, their economy was boosted when James Buchanan Duke developed an immense cigarette industry in the form of the American Tobacco Company and made several donations to Trinity College, which is currently known as Duke University. Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, was one of the men who supported and pushed for the industrialization of the South.
