  17. Affects of the Civil War I believe the Civil War had a great many positive affects on America but it also had a some negative ones too. Some of these negative effects are a great loss of life, inflation, and the separation of America. Luckily all these problems were resolved, well all except the loss of life that is. On a lighter note the, the Civil Warendeda great many of America’s problems as well. To give an example, Slavery, and also made it so that states could no longer secede when ever they felt like it. So, in my opinion the was a well executed idea that ended in success.

  18. The End of The Civil WarApril 9th at the Appomattox Courthouse Generals • General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant. • The 27,800 Confederate troops at Appomattox surrendered Significance • Lee’s surrender is important because it put an end to The Civil War. Terms of Surrender • Major Artillery would be turned over • Side Arms, Horses, and Mules would remain • No imprisonment for treason Conclusion • There were still small skirmishes after the surrender, this was because 175,000 Confederate troops remained in the field. • The final surrender of Confederate troops took place over a month later on June 23rd,1865 http://www.civilwarhome.com/images/surrender.jpg
