Was the Civil War Worth the Cost? - 0 views

  • blame the north for the war. The south, after all, wanted to leave the union peacefully. In their minds, our country was first and foremost a collection of independent states, and these individual states had the right to withdraw from the union at the time of their choosing
  • 620,000 Americans died in the United States’ only Civil War, and another 400,000 were wounded
  • But when you consider the fact that there were approximately 32 million people living in the United States when the war began, the casualties become even more unimaginable. After all, just the population of California today is significantly higher than 32 million. Can you imagine a war in which there were one million casualties in California alone

  • the root cause I keep coming back to is southern paranoia. Mistakenly, they believed that the north was filled with people who wanted to abolish slavery, and if the north was ever able to gain complete control of the federal government, then they might force the south to change its way of life.
  • The north, of course, did not see things this way, so the decision was made to invade the south and put down this rebellion. At that point, the war truly started.
  • Of course, if the north had made a different decision, it is hard to predict how American history would have played itself out over the past 145 years
  • Last but not least, how long would slavery have continued if the south were allowed to secede? In order to win the war, save the union, and prevent future conflicts, the north eventually took the drastic step of freeing the slaves.
  • then slavery would have stayed intact indefinitely
