The Civil War 1820-1865
The Civil War was the greatest crisis the United States ever faced. Popular history suggests that the war was all about slavery. No doubt, slavery was at the heart of the matter however the causes of the Civil War are much more complex than simply the south wanted slavery and the north didn’t. After four long devastating years of war, the North, through a combination of advantages, skill and luck defeated the South. The northern victory promised that the union would live on. Why the conflict happened and why the North won are the two issues we will focus on in this unit.
