Preserving the Nation

When the Civil War ended, alot of event happened all at once causing a massive amout of chaos all over the nation. Over twenty million of the male population are dead, the rebuilding of the South had over $100 million worth of damage, and taxes increacing everywhere. Even the Northern capitalists were terrified to invest what they had. The 4 million African Americans were freed, now reconized as citizens, and were allowed to vote. A couple of days after the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln was assissinated, making Andrew Johnson the next president. It took a very long time to make everything right again.

It was very obvious that not just the South lost the war but everyone else in America lost everything as well. With all those freed slaves, the first thing that will pop in their minds that they would, right at the start, do everything what they wanted to do that they couldn't do when they were slaves. They would make everywhere and everything run out of control. It was also sad to hear the millions of millions of damage to everything that the people of the South treasured the most, losing family, friend, homes, their childhood, and more, all gone. Not to mention everyone mourned to the assissination of Abraham Lincoln. Nobody liked this time at all.
