Formation of a Central National Government after the Civil War
The American Civil War represents one of America’s historical events occurring between 1861 and 1865 where there was an unforgettable war between eleven southern states over the issue of slavery (Routh 5). The war had both negative and positive impacts. The most notable impact was that it led to the formation of a government, which was necessary after the war ceased. This paper will explore why a strong central national government was necessary after the war and the impacts of this government.
The American Civil War brought about the end of slavery and a successful revolution by the Americans against England. As a result, America became an independent nation with social order and legal equality. Despite this newfound independence, it was clear that, the civil war led to a decline in the country’s economy, due to many funds used during the war. The government at the time had also taken up loans, to cater for the war as well. It was, therefore, necessary to adopt a strong central national government to solve the economic crisis.
