the civil war struck the nation with a violent blow. brave solders left home fighting for what they felt was right. they left families behind and prepared for a new lifestyle. often times, members of the same family left to join two different regiments, on opposite side of the war. but what they didnt realize, was that not only were they headed for a new life, but they were changing the lives of all those they left behind. the impact of the civil war was as great at home as on the battlefield. many people were effected by the weakening economy and government. women had to step up and take the roles of their men. many people even had to leave their homes.

thousands of brave men left the comfort of their homes to make a statement, and risk their lives for what they found morally right. sometimes, that meant two family members leaving for opposing sides. often, brothers were up against brothers on the battle field. this shows that not all born in the north opposed slavery, and not all southerners agreed with it. this had a huge effect on family life. it tore apart families so severly, that sometimes, wives had to mourn the loss of a husband shot by her son.

as violence spread, the wrath of the civil war reached the hometowns of thousands of people in the north and south. violence wasnt restrained to the battle field, it was at many peoples front doors. this changed the way governments were run, and the way citizens went about their day to day lives. and so, many were left with no choice but to travel. they packed what they needed and left home in search of a better environment for their families. this was particulary severe in the south. the union army blockaded the southern states to prevent european goods from reaching the south. this forced even more people to move.

people of the south experience a dying economy. they lost money and ran out of ways to earn it. also, with so many people leaving for battle and search of new homes, emplyees were lost and manufacturing of needed goods decreased significantly. they lost access to goods because of the blockade. this caused people to resort to bartering. bartering out of neccessity to survive. adding to thois, the confederate states government failed to firmly root there currency and allowed it to lose value. it became very weak.

the role of women changed greatly in america during the time of the civil war. left home with the children, they needed to find a way to make a living to maintain their homes and feed their families. they took jobs as factory workers and store clerks, which were typically jobs for men and apprenticing boys. they led the household and dealt with the struggles of raising a family in a poor economy, dying government and violent environment singlehandedly.

the civil war impacted the nation greater than other wars on american soil. families were torn apart, people were left with no choice but to leave their homes. people who once made a decent living lost all of their money and were forced to resort to bartering. women were brave and stepped up to fill the shoes of their men. after the war, with the exception of a brief period of reconstruction, the country returned to a normal way of life. but the immense effects it had on the people, government, and economy will never be forgotten, as they shaped the nation into what it is today
