Question

The Civil War laid the foundation for modern America. In fighting the war, both the North and the South lost something they had gone to war to defend. Identify what each side had to sacrifice
Correct answers:
Answer: -Northern capital dominated American politics, but in gaining that lead, it both weakened free-labor and transformed the small shop and independent farm into powerful industrial giants
-The South lost slavery, economic power, and southern dominance of American politics

Answer 1

• Northern capital dominated American politics, but in doing so, it simultaneously undermined free labor and turned independent farms and small shops into potent industrial behemoths.
• The South lost its access to slaves, economic clout, and political hegemony.

After decades of simmering tensions over slavery, states' rights, and westward expansion between northern and southern states, the American Civil War broke out in 1861. Seven southern states formed the Confederate States of America after Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860; four additional states soon joined them.

The Confederate surrender in 1865 brought the Civil War, commonly known as the War Between the States, to a conclusion. With over 620,000 of the 2.4 million soldiers killed, millions more hurt, and a large portion of the South in ruins, the fight was the most expensive and lethal combat ever waged on American territory.
