Essential Question-What is the overall legacy of the Civil War?

# data[].attributes.body
The overall legacy of the Civil War is the impact it had on both the south and north and the people that lived there both black and white. How their views and opinions erupted into war and how it ended settling their relationship between each other. Rules and Amendments changing over 4 years caused rifts and realizations on what America wanted to be like. The legacy it left on the future was so impactfull that the history still relates to today’s events. I would say that their overall legacy is that all human beings are equal because after the civil war over time we see more rights and privelages given to citizens that didn't have them before.
