CIVIL WAR WIKI!!
 Questions i want to know about: 1) Could they have stopped lincoln from being shot? 2) Could the start of the Civil War been stopped? 3)If the south had won the war, and succeeded in becoming a seperate country, How would this have influenced Great britains actions and If we'd even be a country right now. 4) If the South had won the war, How would that have effected politics and leadership of both countries considering the north would be all republicans and the south would be all democrats? 5) Would the South have tried to reconquer the North after the war if they had won, installing their forms of government, laws, customs, and political views?  media type="custom" key="2847893"  Why The Civil War? The one i agree with most is: //“Northern abolitionists probably exaggerated the physical cruelties that the Southern masters inflicted upon their slaves. Southern “fire-eaters” doubtless distorted the true character of Northern Yankees. Politicians in both sections kept the country in constant turmoil by and whipped up popular emotions for the selfish purpose of winning elections. Pre-Civil War political leaders were unusually incompetent … their exaggeration of sectional differences, their invention of alleged fictitious issues, created a crisis that was highly artificial …” (79)//   //I agree with this one the most because its true that the Northern abolitionists did exaggerate the cruelties of slavery and the cruelty the southern masters did inflict upon their slaves. They probable did this to get their point across clear and make things seem so bad and horrid that it all needed to be stopped. Southerners most likely also did distort the character of the Northerners because they wanted to make the northerners feel like they were wrong and slavery was fine... they were making a big deal over nothing. Politicians also did become very self-centered and kept our nation in constant turmoil for their sake of winning an election. Everything done and said by the northerners especially was all very fake and over exaggerated. It just made things seem worse then they were and made our nation look bad- like we were ratting on the other half of our country which is not showing one unified nation like we should be. //
