Blog Assignment 7- The Outcome of the Civil War
This blog assignment is purely an opinion question but I want you to take some time to really think about it before you answer. Today in class we began discussing the battles and events of the Civil War. We learned about how at the Battle of Antietam Robert E. Lee's plans were discovered which kept him from taking Washington D.C. and ending the war. This is just one example in the many turn of events that could have changed the outcome of the Civil War. In at least 5 sentences I want you to tell me how our country's history might have been different if the South had won the Civil War. Think about what happened as a result of the war: the end of slavery and Lincoln's assassination are just two things to consider. So put some thought into your answer. Don't forget to put your name and class period at the end of your post.

If Robert E. Lee's plans hadn't been discovered we would most likely still have slavery today. That small event changed our whole country's history! Today, almost everybody disagrees with slavery, for slavery is a horrible thing.Now blacks are looked at equally in America.

If Robert E. Lee's plans weren't found out then it would change alot of what we talk about in history. That change would change the illegal rights of slavery. If his plan's weren't found out then Lincoln would of maybe not of been killed. It would also effect the north and all of the people they put in to stop it.

If the South won the Civil War then we would still have slavery. People would also probably still treat black people the same, as animals. True, President Abraham Lincoln would probably not have been shot, but I think it is better one man dying than millions of people being enslaved. Being enslaved may include being tortured, losing family, or being treated badly. I think slavery was the worst thing that happened in America.

Our country's history might have been different in many ways if the South had won the Civil War. One way might have been that there would still be slavery. Another way is that many of the states in the United States right now would not be in our country right now, including Texas. But,the most important reason why our country is the United States and why we won the Civil War is because of Robert E. Lee. If he hadn't dropped his plans and we hadn't found them,we would probably not be the United States right now and we would probably wouldn't have won the war.

I think our country would of had slavery and have cauos. all the black people would have been made fun of. They would be treated worse than animals. All this stuff would happen and is wrong to do to people.No one wants slavery know because they finally relized it was wrong.

I think if our country still had slavery then it would be horrible. I'm really happy the Union won the Civil War because if they didn't then everyone would still think of the African Americans unequally. I don't think anyone in our whole country would want slavery right now because when they looked back they finally realized that treating innocent people like that is very wrong. Another way the South winning the war could affect us is because half of the states wouldn't be here and that including Texas. I think that slavery is very wrong and horrible.

ReplyDeleteIf slavery was still allowed many great people would not be here. Martin Luther King Jr, Oprah, Michael Jordan, and many, many others! That Civil War win was more than the future it was life. I wouldn't be here if slavery was aloud. If the North lost The United States of America would be nothing more than a abomination.

ReplyDeleteI think that we would have slavery because white people back then were not smart enough to realize slavery was stupid not trying to be rude but thats the truth. Also if after the war if we did have slavery Martin Luther King JR. would have done nothing and "colored"people would have been treated wrong.Examples of that would be the buses like Rosa Parks,schools, bathrooms , etc. So slavery is wrong and should be band from the U.S. and "whites" would've been rude to "colored" people. That's my report on the Civil War.
