 | | Memories of the war and Reconstruction held the segregated South together as a Democratic block—the "Solid South"—in national politics for another century. | | | Why the Union prevailed (or why the Confederacy was defeated) in the Civil War has been a subject of extensive analysis and debate. | | | This enabled the Confederacy to begin to attempt to gain support and funds in Europe. |

| | Civil war - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Religion is more contentious, there are some civil wars that can be seen as fueled by religion in early years, such as the Jewish Revolts against Rome, but these can also be seen as revolts by a servile people against their oppressors or uprisings by local notables in an attempt to gain independence. | | | However, the United States was one of the wealthiest and most democratic countries in the world at the time of its bloody civil war. | | | A civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight for political power or control of an area. |

| | Confederate steamships had been active since early in the war, harassing Northern shipping and blockade-running in the North and South Atlantic, as well as the Pacific Ocean. | | | The American Civil War resolved two great issues: the nature of the Federal Union (and the relative power of the states and central government); and the existence of black slavery. | | | In August 1862, the enlistment of 5000 such troops was officially approved in the North, and eventually about 180,000 served in the Union army, many of them former slaves who had run away from their Southern owners. |
