Analyze the costs and consequences of the Civil War for the United States
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The Civil War was the most deadly in American history. Disease and lack of adequate medical care contributed to a death rate five times higher than during World War II. The war wreaked tremendous destruction on the South and led to the freedom of over 3 million slaves. The Union was secured, slavery ended, and the Republicans passed legislation to foster economic growth. The status of the conquered South and the rights of freedmen were issues to be resolved. The assassination of Lincoln deprived the nation of his leadership during Reconstruction.
