Shaara writes this story in a way that gives the reader insight on both the Confederate and Union army. The Confederates were fighting for pride and for their way of life. The South believed heavily in the power of the government in the states. At one point there was an argument between an Englishman and a guy named Sorrel. Sorrel ranted to the Englishman saying “That’s all we want and that’s what this war is about. We established this this country in the first place with strong state government just for that reason, to avoid a central tyranny.” (p. 65). The South looked at the North as a tyrannical government. The North on the other hand looked at the South as trying to tear the country into two.

The Civil War was fought on U.S soil during the 1800’s for the cause to bring the nation back together and later in the war, to end slavery.

Lincoln’s official reason for the Civil War was to preserve the Union at all costs, and not to put an end to slavery. An antislavery declaration would have driven the Border States into the arms of the South. An antislavery war was also extremely unpopular in the region of southern Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. That area had been settled largely by Southerners who had carried their racial prejudices with them when they crossed the Ohio River. Thus the war began not as one between slave soil and free soil, but one for the Union with slaveholders on both sides and many proslavery sympathizers in the North.

While the North had industries and the South had plantations, the South was dependent on slaves to work the fields whereas the North was independent. The Union and the Confederacy could both have functioned independently due to the resources each side was provided with.

The United States Civil War is possible one of the most meaningful, bloodstained and controversial war fought in American history. Northern Americans against Southern Americans fought against one another for a variety of motives. These motives aroused from a wide range of ideologies that stirred around the states. In James M. McPherson’s What they fought for: 1861-1865, he analyzes the Union and Confederate soldier’s morale and ideological components through the letters they wrote to love ones while at war. While, John WhiteClay Chambers and G. Kurt Piehler depict Civil War soldiers through their letters detailing the agonizing battles of war in Major Problems in American Military History. In both books, readers are able to understand the motives of the war, attitudes of Americans and the hostility of battles through the letters of soldiers.

Throughout the course of the Civil War, Southerner’s felt as if the North was impending upon state’s rights and their way of life, which was based on slavery, was put at risk by the Union .

The Civil War was not only fought by free Americans, but as times changed, enslaved people also took up arms alongside the Union and fought the Confederacy. The inevitable Civil War resulted in the South’s demise and them rejoining the Union.

There were many reasons why the South wanted to succeed but the main reason had to do with the North's view on slavery.
