THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR (1861-1865)

The Civil War which is referred to War of States took place during 1861 to1865. It

was caused by obdurate differences between the gratis and the slave states of South and

North of the USA (Rhodes 2012). The paper will discuss the advantages for national

development for more stable central government after the war, its necessity for national

development, and provides for reasons and results for civil war.

Importance of development of a strong central national government after Civil War

For economic, military, and political stability, central governance was vital because the

newly created state had to function as a single sovereignty. Prior to civil war, the states were

functioning singularly without coordination which led to a conglomeration of policies that

were viewed important for a state according to its residential cultures (Du Bois 2017). It led

to self owned policies without national coordination since there was no obligation to one

another given diverse interests for each state. National coordination was a major tool in

nationalism in the USA after the civil war. Thus, it was an important aspect for the unity of a

nation to first realize its mistakes and incorporate every culture and color in its formation of a

new national strong central government (Du Bois 2017).

constitution uphold as the supremacy body (Rhodes 2012). It was in the respect of

constitution that Thirteenth Amendment (1865) and constitution supreme Fourteenth

Amendment (1968). To enhance equity and fairness in election, there was an introduction of

Fifteenth Amendment (1870) that allowed for the liberated slaves to vote and be elected to

political offices. It was in the spirit of nationalism and democratic rights that every citizen

had a right to vote and elect their leaders thus minimized extensive national chaotic that was

dividing the nation in to the Southern and Northern states (Du Bois 2017).

Reasons and Outcomes of Civil War

Ideological differences between the North and South were the major cause of war in the USA

due to slavery issue. Southern states relied heavily on the enslaved Africans to provide for

the manpower, but the Northern states were more advanced in terms of industrial

development. Because of its industrial advancement, Northern States had a belief that slavery

should be illegalized in every Sates but Southern States depended on the slavery to advance

its states (Rhodes 2012). It led to introduction of a slavery clause in the States which

prohibited slavery and demanded federal sway to prevent the slaves from being forced to

forced works. This therefore staged for economic and political differences that called for

secession by pro-slave states from anti- slavery activists’ states because of diverged opinion

about humanity.

step in advancing democracy and upholding constitutionalism after the Civil war. If the war
