America has been a part of some devastating wars in its long history. World War I and World War II were extremely difficult conflicts,
and it was they who imposed the maximum tax on the country's resources.
But none of these conflicts can compare with the civil war, not only the barbarism and destruction of human life,
but also the damage to the social fabric caused by this terrible conflict.
The United States is proud that it has never fought a war on its soil. Except Pearl Harbor and 911, we have never attacked on our soil. Therefore, to make possible the possibility of war within the borders of the United States, it was necessary to wage war against brother, brother against America.
The statistics of the war are astonishing for the relatively short controversy. The war began on April 12, 1861. It was the Confederacy that shed the first blood at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Civil War battles and legends. Until now, we have preserved many of these historic plains to pay our respects to those who died on both sides of this bloody conflict.
Throughout the war, the North benefited in preparation, equipment, and supplies. But General Lee, who commanded the Confederate Army, was a brilliant strategist, and battles often resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. When the final figures released, 970,000 American civilians died in the civil war. Although it cannot be numerically compared to the heavy losses in the two world wars that followed, the figure was 3% of the American population at that time. And with so many young Americans dying in the war, his hopes for the future, the damage that the war has done to the growth of the American economy is truly remarkable.
In modern times, we see the Civil War as a Titanic war to end the horrors of slavery in this country. And, of course, the civil war is and will always be a central part of the dark history and the starting point of the civil rights movement in the United States. But the causes of the civil war were complex and varied, making it difficult to negotiate and resolve the war before the conflict.
Part of the issue that was being fought was the right of states to self-determination, rather than the federal government's right to determine matters in individual states. On the surface, this may seem trivial compared to the abolition of slavery, but in the light of our very distant memory of our revolution against England in an attempt to impose unreasonable control on the colonies. There was an important relationship.
Will anger at how Britain tried to enslave the colonies was the child who blew up the so-called revolutionary war. And much has been to ensure that language enshrined in the Constitution and other significant documents to ensure that the federal government will be strictly prohibited from interfering in the lives of its citizens.
In addition, the protection of the Union as a country was a competition in the civil war. But it was the moral issue of slavery that made the civil war such an emotional issue, and an issue that caused people to fight with such brutality in self-defense. Finally, Abraham Lincoln also called slavery the central rationale for war and determined that the end of this barbaric practice would be the legacy of this terrible conflict.
But one of the legacies of the Civil War was the determination that we as Americans would never again turn our war machine on our citizens. The war shattered families and literally led brother to brother the American way. People will stay. Of life.
