 The
Civil War took place during the years of
1861 to 1865
 The two sides were the North and South or,
the Union and the Confederates.
 One
major cause of the Civil War was the
fight between slave and non-slave states.
 Another cause was economic differences
between the states.
 Clara
Barton 1821-1912 was a battlefield
nurse in the Civil War, She was known as the
“Angel of the battlefield”
 She was part of the Union but she took care
of soldiers from both sides of the war.
 The
Battle of Gettysburg was a turning point
in the war because there were many
casualties and this made it hard for the
Confederates because they no longer had the
physical strength to invade the Union.
 One
way the Civil war affected people who
were not soldiers is that it divided many
families.
 Life was hard for many families who had
there fathers and brothers fighting in the war
because there was no one to provide for
them.
 Soldiers
of confederacy were demoralized,
tired and had almost no way of winning the
war.
 The civil war ended on April 19th,1865, with
the surrender of the Confederate army.
620,000 Americans had died in the war.
Thousands had been injured. The southern
landscape was devastated.
 Two
major effects of the Civil War was the
devastated land in the south and the end of
slavery in the United States.
