the significance of the civil war

A detailed Summary of the significance of the civil war


The Civil War was a significant American historical event. In the North, social conflict arose between the rich and the poor. In the South, slavery was abolished after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves were to be free.

The war shattered the bonds that society held together between the different classes of the whites. The Civil War was considered a "Rich man's war and a poor man's fight." This idea was the result of the rich men supporting and directly benefiting the war but not fighting in it, while the poor man was enlisted in the armies to fight the war, growing a large resentment for both the war and the upper class.
