Conclusion of the American Civil War:
The war ended with the Union Army victorious, while the Confederate States lost the war. Slavery was stopped in USA after the war, although there was still minor prescence of slavery. Slavery was prohibited ever since, but the blacks face another problem in USA-Discrimination. And, before the war ended, the president of USA, Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated, making him the 1st President of USA to meet this fate.
Slavery effectively ended in the U.S. in the spring of 1865 when the Confederate armies surrendered. All slaves in the Confederacy were freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, which stipulated that slaves in Confederate-held areas were free. Slaves in the border states and Union-controlled parts of the South were freed by state action or (on December 6, 1865) by the Thirteenth Amendment. The full restoration of the Union was the work of a highly contentious postwar era known as Reconstructing. The war produced about 1,030,000 casualties (3% of the population), including about 620,000 soldier deaths—two-thirds by disease.[149] The war accounted for more casualties than all other U.S. wars combined.
The war brought many lessons to the country. But it also marked a new era for the USA for slavery no longer existed. They have ended what people of today might seem as cruelty and unjust. Lincoln’s death was definitely a terrible incident for the USA. But his spirit and determination had always been remembered by the USA citizens. Till this day, he had been ranked one of USA’s greatest president and many would never forget what he had given to America.
The gift of Freedom
