Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the epic struggle in the US between the Union and the Confederacy that left hundreds of thousands dead, the South devastated and American life changed forever. The paper explores how the Civil War had a profound influence upon life in the South in terms of politics, economics and social values.

From the Paper:

"The simmering political disagreement regarding the nature of the Union may have remained academic had it not been for slavery, upon which Southern economics, society, and culture were largely based. The South had an agrarian economy, depended upon crop production and cotton for fiscal solvency, and relied upon millions of slaves to tend the fields of Southern plantations. Slaves played a vital role in the Southern economy, for they provided the free labor which enabled Southern planters to prosper."
