What was a result of the civil war?
There were many results of the civil war. The North won, and slavery was abolished, and southern reconstruction took place. The 13th and 15th amendments to the constitution were passed.
What was the northern view on reconstruction?
The reconstruction, sometimes referred to as the Reconstruction Period, was a space of roughly five years following the American Civil War during which the reconstruction of the Union took place. This was accomplished through the use of legislative power, and military might via the Military Reconstruction Act of 1867. Considering it was predominantly the white Northerners pushing the Act, the overall view of reconstruction was favorable. However, a large majority of Southern whites despised the idea, and resented the action. In spite of this, the newly freed slaves comprised an equally large portion of the Southern populous, and it was due in part to their pleas for citizenship that the reconstruction even took place. Thus, it could be said that the South itself was divided on the issue.
What events took place during the civil war?
In the West, the capture of Vicksburg, the last Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi. In the East (on the same day, by chance), the devastating Confederate defeat at Gettysburg, ending Lee's hopes of invading the North, and putting him out of action till the following spring. In Tennessee, the Army of the Cumberland came close to destruction at Chiockamauga, and was besieged in Chattanooga - saved from starvation by Grant, who was rapidly gaining enough credibility for the job of General-in-Chief, to which he would soon be appointed.
Why was Appomattox an important place in the civil war?
That is where General Lee surrenderd to Ggeneral Grant, which ended the civil war. because thats where the south (confederacy) surrendered so it represents the unions victory as well as the signifigance of the long bloody civil war being over and alowing the reconstruction to begin.
What major dramatic or historical events happened after the US Civil War ended?
After the Civil War was over, all was still not well. Everything that had been destroyed by the war had to be rebuilt, including the government in the South. Laws were passed to give equal rights to blacks, but blacks continued to be treated differently. Read more about Reconstruction, the time after the Civil War, when the country began to recover from the fighting. After the Civil War, it took over 100 years for blacks to have the same equal rights as whites. Three amendments to the U.S. Constitution helped blacks have the same opportunities as whites and have the same right to vote. The Reconstruction Acts were also part of this fight. These made the South give blacks their political rights.
