How did the Civil War Effect modern America?
The civil war still impacts American’s way of life today because if it wasn’t for the civil war the thirteenth amendment would have never been created which means slavery which means slavery would not of been in and the country technically speaking wouldn’t be united. If it was not for the civil war not everyone who was born in the United States of America would be a citizen and that is bad because that means immigrants kids wouldn’t have the same right with most white people and that is horrible because this country was built on immigrants. If it was not for the civil war not all races of males could vote which is bad because that means only whites and other races have the ability to vote. Many are being deprived of their right to vote because of their skin color. The civil war effects modern day America state laws would trump the federal law and that is bad because for example if Ohio passed a law for slavery they could have slavery in Ohio at that time but thankfully because of the civil war that can’t happen. There are many great effects the Civil War had on America.
