How did the Civil War bring America together?
I supposed the best evidence that the Civil War brought the United States together is that we have never had another civil war since then and we have never had any serious talk of any state or states secedeing. The Civil War brought the US together in two ways: • It ended slavery. Since slavery was a major bone of contention between the two regions, ending it helped make the US more of a united whole. • It ended the idea that states could secede. Up until that time, some people believed states had the right to leave the Union whenever they wanted. Hardly anyone thinks that anymore. So we are a more united nation now than we were back then, and the Civil War is part of the reason for that.
