Effects of War in the Civil War





The Civil War was the deadliest war in American History. 620,000 people died in the Civil War. Most people before 1863 thought this war was going to be very easy and short but then began to realize they were wrong. They thought the battle of Manassas was the first an last war of the Civil War. Medical care at this time was not very good so if a soldier were to get shot not a lot could be done. It was 7 times safer to fight in the Battle of Gettysburg then to be sent to an army hospital. Death rates are really high. Civil war had many lasting effects on the survivors and the military. The Civil War was a very bloody, heroic, fortunate war but also gave freedom to so many people. This bloody war transformed our nation. Slavery caused so much tension and then it finally built up so much controversy it started up the Civil War. In this war, the country was divided basically it was brother fighting brother. Our country only had 50 million people including children and elderly. If the Confederacy would have won our country would have been very different today. Our country has never been more divided as in 1861.
