Why Was There A Civil War In The United States And What Were Its Results?
Übersicht
By 1861 the United States had split in two. Eleven Southern states broke away to form their own Confederacy, the guns opened fire on a small island fort in Charleston harbour, and a quarrel that had simmered for forty years over slavery, states' rights and the future of the West became the bloodiest war in American history. Around 620,000 soldiers would die before it ended. Why did a single country tear itself apart, and what did all that suffering actually change?
This lesson untangles the long-running differences between an industrial North and a slave-owning South, the election of 1860 that lit the fuse, and the reasons the North was eventually able to win. It then weighs the results: emancipation and the end of legal slavery set against the unfinished, half-kept promises of Reconstruction. By the end you will be able to argue, with evidence on both sides, how far the war really changed the United States.
