The American Civil War is considered to be one of the fiercest and bloodiest wars out of all the encounters in the history of the United States of America. The battle started on April 21, 1861, and ended on April 9, 1865. It lasted for 3 years and 362 days and left great scars on the minds of American people. The bloodshed, loss of lives, and the pain cause by it, all had a bad impact on the whole nation, but as the war ended on a positive note, the Civil War is remembered extensively in the history of the United States.
Life as a soldier, during the time of the Civil War, was extremely difficult. Although the tales that are famous about this war vary indefinitely and include a mixed element of patriotism, sacrifice, sentiments and heroic action, there is a painful side to the story as well, that is mostly kept hidden. They may seem adventurous and romantic notions at times, but the reality is far more cruel and bitter. Roughly more than 620000 people laid down their lives in this war, which is a huge figure. People feel great remorse for the loss that they and the nation had to bear in this war. The most regretful thing quoted by the witnesses and the upcoming generations is that they feel that people of the same country were fighting against the nationals of their own country, and killing their own brothers. The only positive outcome of these sacrifices is the abolishment of slavery.
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States of America during the time of the Civil War. He handled all the matters very tactfully and smartly. All his efforts became successful and he finally prosecuted the Civil war and preserved the nation. Abraham Lincoln was the primary person who passed the Thirteenth Amendment and officially ended slavery in America.
