The primary effects were that the union was preserved and that slavery was abolished. There has also been lingering resentment by those who think that the Confederacy had the right to secede and that the North was overly violent in preventing that secession. The whole history of the Civil Rights Movement, the Ku Klux Klan, and many other social phenomena have been influenced strongly by the Civil War.

how did the civil war affect the way you live in the united states today

The civil war affects us by no longer owning slaves and allowing us to be one huge land and not many separate states.

It also opened the way for the government to have more power.

We don't have slavery or were we are treated different NO we are all treated the same. All because of the Civil War. This is also a external conflict because of the skin color and how the slaves could be beaten.

The only good thing that came out of that war was the freeing of the slaves. Everything else was negative. The government became bigger and stronger.Today it is a government of unlimited powers. I have no hatred for union soldiers. But the government had no right to force the south back into the union. Once that happened it was no longer a union. The government began referring to it as a nation because they knew they couldn't call it the union anymore. Some southern citizens had their voting rights taken away for awhile. I know there was wrong on both sides. The south had slavery and the government wanted more control.The war wasn't only about slavery. When they first made the U.S. officials from states asked if they could leave the union if they wanted to later and they were told yes.
