It was an important event in the nation's history because it was the first time that America was dominated by internal conflicts that challenged its democracy (Fortuna, n.d.). However, once the fighting came to an end, its significance became clear because of its effects on the American society.
Despite of taking more than 60,000 lives, the American Civil War contributed to the establishment of the Democratic South and Republican North. Secondly, the war enabled a reassurance of power in the national government through overturning concepts of secession and nullification. Third, the American Civil War brought the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution through its legislation. It also cemented Abraham Lincoln and other leaders into the historical glossary of the people of the United States. The Civil War is considered as a major factor that led to the increase in America's economic power to an extent that it rivaled and eventually surpassed that of other countries. Through this conflict, Americans gained a new sense of being part of a single country rather than members of a conglomerate of states with individual histories and institutions.
Importance of the Civil War to America's History:
The significance of America's deadliest conflict can be found in many arguments regarding the...
The war remains to be an important component of understanding America's history of the 19th Century because of the way it profoundly altered the attitudes of American citizens regarding how they envision their own nation. The fabric idea that is the United States was profoundly changed by the war since Americans could no longer view the country as a group of independent states but one indivisible country. This is an impact that not only occurred in the 19th Century but is felt today, especially in the manner in which Americans describe the country. Actually, no war in the nation's history had such effects as the Civil War that led to three constitutional amendments, freed millions of people from slavery, affected the election of five presidents, and eliminated the main economic and social institutions of half of America (Smith, n.d.). The significance of this event in America's 19th Century history is because it contributed to other major historical events in the nation.
In conclusion, America's Civil War remains to be one of the deadly but significant events in the nation's 19th Century history. The conflict was mainly caused by slavery and had both immediate and long-lasting effects since it influenced other history events. Therefore, it's impossible to understand the course of America's history without understanding the conflict.

Four men stand out as the penultimate figures of Post-Impressionism, namely, Georges Suerat (1859-1891), Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), Paul Gauguin (1843-1903) and Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890), all of whom at first accepted the Impressionist methods and then moved away from it toward a new type of painting. In the case of Cezanne, the basis of his art had much to do with studying nature in a new way, for his aim
The sense of comparison is not necessarily explicit but rather implicit. It seems that Fanny is a mere observant to the way in which Mary comes to life her life and to adjust to the requirements of her education, both in a spiritual manner as well as in a financial one. The education of the individual at the time consisted of different aspects, but most importantly, it had one aim
De La Croix, 865-66. Artists in the nineteenth century were confronted by three innovations that fatefully affected their craft: the camera, the mass produced print, and the printed reproduction. The collective techniques of an industrial age forced nineteenth century artists to analyze their function and to study closely the physical nature of their medium. Hyde, Minor, Art History's History. 32-35. Baroque Art emerged in Europe around 1600, as a reaction against
A major point of the above is that the winners of wars typically write the history books and their reverence and view of history may not be all that positive. Examples like that litter the pages of history including the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire and so on. Architecture is molded and shaped to this very day by countries generally take a dim view of religion and the associated
Europe Women's Suffrage Most countries in Western and Central Europe, including Great Britain granted women the vote right after World War I, and only in the Scandinavian nations of Norway and Finland did they receive it earlier than that. France stood out as exceptional, however, no matter that it was the homeland of democratic revolution and of the idea of equal rights for women. It also had a highly conservative side
Prohibition One of the most conflicted points of United States history is associated with the temperance movement, which culminated into a federal constitutional amendment prohibiting the production, transportation, and sale of all alcoholic beverages. The 18th Amendment to the constitution marked the end of a long and ardent campaign to eliminate all the ills of American society. The root of prohibition is seated in the reality of the alcohol, problem in
