The Civil War is so important to us as Americans because any understanding of our nation today HAS to be based on the understanding of the Civil War. It defined us as a nation. The Revolutionary War did what it did and so did the other wars we had with Europe. But the Civil War defined us of who we are. And to open us up to what we would become today. Good and bad. It was a crossroad of who we were and who we became.
First of all, it is a common misconception to believe that the Civil War was only one war that was fought between the Union and the Confederacy. However, it involved over seventeen significant battles that took place from 1862 to April 9, 1865. To answer your question, each bloodshed brought great significance; both armies allied with their slaves, which helped mend the tears separating African American slaves and their white owners. Additionally, all of the destruction helped open the eyes of the commonfolk--they actually stopped to think about the things worth fighting for. The Civil War, unlike most wars, did not end in rage faces and eternal revenge; instead, the Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered. This was later known as the "Surrender at Appomattox Courthouse." General Grant, the leader of the Union, stood up to shake hands with Lee, forming a truce and friendship. He even gave him his prized sword to keep. You see, all of the blood and gore may have clouded the world with misery, but it did lead to a brighter future.
