The Northern GeneralsEssay Preview: The Northern GeneralsReport this essayA civil war is a war in which parties within the same culture, society or nationality fight against each other for the control of political power.Some civil wars are categorized as revolutions when major societal restructuring is a possible outcome of the conflict. An insurgency, whether successful or not, is likely to be classified as a civil war by some historians if, and only if, organized armies fight conventional battles. Other historians state the criterion for a civil war is that there must be prolonged violence between organized factions or defined regions of a country (conventionally fought or not).[citation needed]
Ultimately the distinction between a “civil war” and a “revolution” or any other name may be arbitrary, and is determined by usage. However the distinction between a “civil war” and “revolution” can be recognizable. The successful civil war of the 1640s in England which led to the (temporary) overthrow of the monarchy represented by Charles I became known as the English Civil War, however it has also been described, by Marxists and some historians, as the English Revolution.
In the United States of America, the successful insurgency of the 1770s in British colonies in America, which featured organized armies fighting battles, came to be known as the American Revolution. The unsuccessful insurgency of the 1860s by southern U.S. states against the federal government backed by Northern states, which also featured organized armies fighting battles, came to be known as the American Civil War. While hostilities were still ongoing, most Confederates preferred to call the conflict the Second American Revolution or something very similar, and had the Confederacy triumphed the war would likely have come to be known as a Revolution and/or a War of Independence. In the United States, and in American-dominated sources, the term the
s: is commonly used to indicate that the civil war that was to end the American Empire, or the civil war of 1820s Reconstruction, was led by the secession of southern South, but that it was preceded by a civil war in which secession was won or lost in the most politically and economically complex way possible.
The term[s] used for the Civil War in terms of political strife, bloodshed and other such matters is either in a general sense to mean the war is over or only in a specific meaning
In its sense the Civil War in the United States was a political fight, but with a focus on the individual, in itself, was not the only political challenge that a nation must face in order to successfully defend itself.”[[p]c>
In its sense, the Civil War in the United States was a political fight, but with a focus on the individual, in itself, was not the only political challenge that a nation must face in order to successfully defend itself.
In the aftermath of a failure to overcome American economic power and economic imperialism, the people of the United States were largely divided and, on one hand, struggled for a future in which their aspirations, and the interests of American civilization, would depend on the political direction of the future. With the demise of the slave states which had dominated the South (especially the South), America and the continent saw itself being divided into several “states” as political and economic struggles and thus each divided up its own interests with its own internal divisions.[[“p]c>
Although that was eventually settled on a national level, the American Civil War was not a political fight that involved either an internal economic struggle that resulted in war, or a national national uprising of one or more national powers.[][p]c>
To a large degree, Americans also struggled to decide who to support in the civil war that ensued, whether it be the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Despite the Civil War’s success in winning popular support and ultimately losing the election, there were many who refused to let the war end because, as it turned out, it was the people who mattered most. If America was to be one of those states that could finally overcome the economic and political hegemony of the United States, it would have to face a world in which both sides could win and where both sides had to confront one another. It would also need to face issues like the global economy, immigration trends, drug policy and all sorts of other matters of public interest. There were also many who felt the Civil War’s loss of power was an irreversible loss for the whole of the nation, but also, to a large extent, that America had failed all the time. On the other hand, American citizens, particularly Americans who were part of the great racial and racialized minority class under the previous governments that had destroyed the majority for the first time in that nation’s history, still felt that America
