American Civil War and its Impact on Slavery, Voting Rights, and Presidency

American Military History
Question one
From 1861 to 1865, the American states experienced the American Civil war. It was
between the confederate states of America and The Union. The confederation chose Jefferson
Davis as there their leader and declared war on The Union, which meant the remaining countries
of the US. Finally, the Confederation was defeated. The end of slavery was the most significant
outcome of the war. All restrictions on voting were as well abolished because of the war. It gave
freedom to all citizens to vote regardless of their race. Additionally, all the federal troops were
removed from the South. This war saw the election of Rutherford B. Hayes as the U.S. President.
If the Confederates had won the civil war, my life would be very different from the way it
is today. As Abraham Lincoln once stated, the emergence of the south as the winner in the war
would have determined the future of not only the United States but also the future of humanity. I
would have lost all the national and world pictures as a modern American. As a military officer,
probably I would have engaged myself in agricultural trade, as the south would have thrived well
agriculturally due to availability of cheap labor from the slaves. My life could be in another Dark

blacks justly and embracing southern unionists. Unfortunately, none of these expectations
happened. The military was used to ensure that past Southerners did not change the victory of
The Union. This was by no approaches amicable but was a credence that was more frequently
