upset that it was divided. The French influence

Effects
Without the Civil War, America wouldn’t be
what it is today. The south seceded, but we
wouldn’t be the United States of America.
There would be a United States and the
Confederate States of America. Slavery would
most likely not be around now, however it
would’ve carried on past 1865.
