  14. HowDid The Civil War Effect Americas Future ? The Civil War helped us realize slavery is wrong and that just because we don’t agree on something doesn’t mean we should just give up and leave. I believe that even if the Civil War didn’t happen, we wouldn’t have slavery today. I think we would just be separate from them.
