How Did The Civil War Affect Americas Future?
The civil war affected me in many ways. If the civil war didn’t occur then there might still be slavery. Also if the civil war didn’t happen then states would be able to leave any time that they wanted to. In the end I am glad that the civil war happened and that the union won the war.
End of the warDates• The last major battle was Appomattox courthouse on April 9, 1865• the final surrender of confederate troops occurred June 23, 1865
LocationsAppomattox Courthouse was the last major battle
SignificanceThis war was very significant. If it didn’t happen then there might still be
slavery and states could decide to leave.
