My opinion
PROS
Wars are never good due to loss of lives, but i feel the Civil War had a positive impact on the country. Considering all the pros and cons this war was necessary for our country to develop into a great country.
CONS
The Emancipation Proclamation was a document issued by Abraham Lincoln which allowed all slaves to be free.
During the Civil War there economic hardship through out the country. The South had little money due to little industrialization. The North's Government needed money for war cost.
Some debate on the cause of the Civil War, the main cause was different beliefs on slavery.
