i think both, they had a great impact on wich side to take but i hve more feeling to thr revoloutionay war becaues that was the start of our country. the civil war was a war about taxes and thins like that, salvery came after the fact. it was to keep lincon presdent bucause that was the only thing he could have thought of. but the rev war was the satr of a new nation that broke away from one of the lagest navy and won its indepndance. i have more to say because i think of them later for some reason you can email me back for further questions: arcturus010@yahoo.com

CIVIL WAR\n\n•  1860-61: Causes and Goals \n\nWhat caused the Civil War was hatred of slavery and disgust with abolitionism, anger at the power of slaveowners and fear of slave insurrections, plus southern nationalism and northern nationalism, plus a myriad of slights and insults, fears and forebodings. Historians still are trying to sort out all the causes. In order to understand the military strategies employed, it is necessary to see how the causes leaders perceived were tied to the war aims they pursued.

Is this a civil war movie?  Do you have a time frame to narrow it down?

Actually it's the Revolutionary war.\n\n1. We hated the English. Mostly because the taxed us without representation.\n\n2. We signed the declaration of independence.\n\n3. We kicked their butts.\n\n4. They surrendered in Yorktown, VA.\n\n5. We kissed and made up and now we are friends.\n\nThat's about it.\n\nHint: look up revolutionary war or american revolution and you will find more stuff than you could ever use.

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence,[1] was a conflict that erupted between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies, who declared their independence as the United States of America in 1776. The war was the culmination of the American Revolution, a colonial struggle against political and economic policies of the British Empire. The war eventually widened far beyond British North America; many Native Americans also fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture and occupy coastal cities, but control of the countryside (where most of the population lived) largely eluded them. After an American victory at Saratoga in 1777, France, Spain, and the Netherlands entered the war against Great Britain. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States.\n\nNote that this article covers military actions only; for political and social developments, including the origins and aftermath of the war, see the article on the American Revolution.

In my opinion, Iraq isn't involved in a civil war. It's involved in a US-induced revolution.

Me, being a history buff and teacher, I would look at maybe the Civil War and pick one battle, or pre Civil War America, the Reconstruction, or focus on Abe Lincoln or Robert E. Lee.   You could probably write a whole paper on just the Gettysburg Address!  Good luck!  There are a ton of books written and internet articles on the Civil War.  In my opinion, it's interesting also.

Interesting question.  Frankly, in his early career, Lincoln supported the rights of the states to secede from the Union.  Apparently he changed his position after attaining the presidency.  If I were to characterize his response, it would be this; He saved the Union at the expense of the Republic, and ushered in what many call the "imperial presidency", expanding the powers of the president over the legislature in regard to war making powers, etc..  You can argue day and night about the reasons for the War Between the States, but Lincoln eventually bought into the concept of the "perpetual Union", and he used the military to enforce it.

Political problems of today can seem somewhat similar to the days prior to the civil war because they are similar issues (we're not talking race here either).  The Civil War was fought over states rights -and the more the federal government wanted to take over or make mandates that the states had to follow, then the more states rebelled - the same thing is happening today.  The federal goverernment is dictating and that is hindering the  states rights which are guaranteed in the constitution.  So the Civil War's legacy is not the cause of the problems today, but the problems today are very similar in nature.  Good observation of your  part.

The causes of the war were a complex series of events, including slavery, that began long before the first shot was fired. Competing nationalisms, political turmoil, the definition of freedom, the preservation of the Union, the fate of slavery and the structure of our society and economy could all be listed as significant contributing factors in America's bloodiest conflict.\n\nFor more info visit the link below.\n\nAll the best!

Yes it was terrorism at the time.\nBut you don't judge the winners.\nIf the terrorists win and form their own Country they stopp being terrorists.\nSo consider this, if American Revolution would have failed, George Washington would be known as a terrorist.

it was a mistake, but the civil war has nothing to do with it.  It was a mistake because we did it alone against UN orders, we did it on faulty intelligence, we did it on a Bush lie that Saddam funded the 9/11 attacks, and the invasion was never supposed to become an occupation.

I wont give you a Paragraph but I will get you started,\n\nIn the 1850's and early 1860's abolitionists who had the dream of ending slavery angered many southerners who wanted to keep their lasting traditions.  Many historians believe that the abolistionist movement in the north, along with the book "Uncle Toms Cabin" were major contributing factors to the Civil war.\n\n\nGood Luck!

A civil war is when factions fight for control of the government.  Iraq isn't in a civil war because outside forces (Taliban, Al Queeda, Hammas, Iran) are instigating all of the turmoil.  Wipe Iran's pres. off the face of the earth and there will be more peace.
