CIVIL WAR
The Civil War in America stands as the historical significance which put an end to the
slavery practice. The Civil Wars are considered to be the birth of the new era which got the
Americans, the most awaited freedom from bondage and exploitative practices by the upper class
and privileged society. It began as the reaction to the prolonged controversy of enslavement
which primarily was imposed on the black people of the nation. The war began in 1861 when
Fort Sumter was attacked by secessionist forces in South of Carolina right after Abraham
Lincoln came to be elected as the President of America. The paper would discuss how civil war
brought change in the American society.
The states of the South in America were continually deprived of their rights and forced to
be exploited for prolonged period of time. Slavery was one of the prime reasons behind the
disunion in America as majority of the population was indifferent about the ongoing matter
throughout the States (Jaffa 2018). In the southern part of America, slavery, over time, became
an integral part of the society. The war broke out primarily because of the differences in the
Slave and Free states. When Abraham Lincoln came to power as the president, after winning the
elections, he pledged to keep slavery out of practice in the territories. There were seven states
which withdrew from the cause and decided to become a new nation, which was known as the
Confederate States of America. Most of the people in the northern region rejected the
government and its promise to put an end to the exploitative practices of slavery. At the same
time that the administrative power of the newly formed government will decline because of the
secession. It was feared that United States will no longer remain as the great nation it was and
break up into smaller regions which would only be a discredit of the administration and
government.
