The Civil War is a major turning point in modern American history. Slavery and states’ rights bitterly divided the nation. In four years the bloody and destructive conflict established the sovereignty of the nation over the states. Slavery was abolished. The passage of the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments spread democratic ideals throughout the country and the world.
