    Thesis Statement “The Civil War may also be termed as the second American Revolution in terms of the political, social and economic changes that occurred during the war” Introduction American Civil War was fought between 1861 and 1865. The war began because President Abraham Lincoln, elected in 1860, was very persistent on preserving the Union, which was threatened by the issue of slavery. The North was growing rapidly in wealth and population, and it was clear to the Southern slave states that the North would eventually be strong enough to carry a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery (Faust, p. 995). The Republican Party had been formed in 1854 to oppose slavery. Consequently, when Lincoln became President, seven states seceded, formed the Confederate States of America and elected Jefferson Davis as their President. On 12 April 1861, Confederates bombarded Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, one of only two federal properties in the South to remain in Union hands: this marked the start of the Civil War (Sam, p. 12). The Civil War affected the moral, political, and social ideologies of the people of United States of America. Different theories perceptions exist on the changes and impact of the Civil war. This paper presents several arguments in the favor of the thesis statement. Discussion The Civil war is also termed as the second American Revolution by many historians. The reason is attributed to the economic, social and political changes that occurred after the war was over. The war has resulted in some significant economic changes in the post war society. The difference in the perception of northern and southern democrats also affected the economic scenario of the post war society. The government in the north tried to make changes in fiscal policy. They allocated money from the state budget which was specially set aside for charity to improve the living conditions of black people. However, the conservative southern people didn’t carry out measures for the emancipation of women and for black. Wealthy slaveholders were the leaders who had privately owned large land holdings. However, the final victory was for the people of south. . North was dependent on the south because the major crops such as tobacco, sugar cane, cotton and rice were produced in South. One major change was the success of the industrial capitalist in capturing and using the state for the purpose of strengthening their economic position (Ford, p. 518). The changes in the tariff, public land, banking, railroad, and contract labor legislation were the major indicators of the economic revolution. Prohibition on trafficking and abolishment of slavery were other revolutionary changes during the war. This war was a fight for the right of freedom. The southern democrats were in favor of slavery, whereas the northern party was against it (Johnny, p.54). However, the victory of Abraham Lincoln brought freedom to the estate and created the concept of equal rights for the black slaves. The concept of equal rights was promoted with three major amendments in the U.S. constitution providing same opportunities and voting rights to the black and whites. The Reconstruction Acts, which were also a significant part of this fight, made the South give equal political rights to blacks. The main objective of this act was to guarantee equal social and political rights of the freed slaves. The gradual disappearance of the institution in the northern states created many supporters of slavery for fear that the growing influence of abolitionists could lead to any time the federal government to take action adverse to institution they defended. In a nutshell, both the ethnicities were entitled their rights; however, the difference in the philosophy and attitude of the north and south still exists in some states of U.S. Conclusion It can be concluded that the Civil War may also be termed as the second American Revolution in terms of the political, social and econo
