Abstract This paper studies the changes in the social, political and intellectual ideologies of American culture as an outcome of the CivilWar. The paper looks at what happened in the South and how the people responded to reconstruction.
From the Paper "The Civil War altered political social and intellectual ideologies of American culture. Introduction: By that time cotton was no longer king in the South and many Southerners were calling for a more diversified economy. There was an increasing move from a farm economy to an industrial one and their industrialization of the South, with increased capital investment in the Southern economy, was endorsed by many. At the same time Anglo-Americans were now settling millions of acres and overcoming resistance from Native Americans in the Indian Wars."
Abstract This paper explains that a main factor leading to the CivilWar was the divergent economic development and concerns between the north and south. The paper further explains that there were many economic factors which contributed to the CivilWar, but three, manufacturing versus farming, slavery and the need for labor in the south and cash crops were paramount. The paper then attempts to examine these factors and how they contributed to the environment leading to the CivilWar.

The motivation and consequences of foreign intervention and the impact on international relationships are examined in this paper. The writer looks at Franco's Spain. Further, the writer discusses the Russian civilwar as a by product of World War I.
From the Paper "The Russian Civil War and the Spanish Civil War stand somewhat as mirror-image bookends in the two decades of often-uneasy peace between the two World Wars. Both took place in countries that were in some sense marginal to Europe as it was conceived politically and culturally. Both civil wars originated as ideological conflicts between the Left and the Right in their respective countries. Both ... "

Abstract The paper explains how the South lost the CivilWar and the North won the War of the Rebellion. The paper discusses the diverse issues that led to the CivilWar including states' rights and slavery.
From the Paper "In any conflict there are at least two sides to a disagreement whose differences may expand exponentially over the course of the conflict. Wars are typical of such conflicts and the United States Civil War underscores how even within one nation two sides of a disagreement may be more complex than is readily apparent; winners and losers are not always easily distinguishable from each other. War is rarely simple and the outcome is not always what is predicted."
Abstract This paper addresses the issues which lead up the England's CivilWar in the 17th century. It discusses the results of the civilwar, and how it lead to the 'Glorious Revolution.' It then looks at the affects of this revolution on England as well as other parts of western civilization--Scotland, Ireland and France. It spans most of the 17th century.
From the Paper "In the early 17th century, a series of conflicts regarding religion and politics set off a civil war, or a sequence of civil wars, in England that also had a great affect on Scotland, Ireland and France. These conflicts lead to the English questioning both the power and the religion of their monarchs, which in turn lead to the Glorious Revolution, strengthening England's position as a world power. In 1625, after the death of his father, Charles I became the king of England. One of the first hints of religious difficulties ahead is portrayed through his marriage to the Catholic Henrietta Maria, in a period of time where the religion of choice was Puritanism. This, as well as his involvement in European wars, caused the English Parliament to be suspicious of Charles I."
Abstract This paper examines the socio-economic state of the United States prior to the CivilWar. It questions whether these factors contributed to the outbreak of the war. It looks at the living standards of people comparing the city dwellers to the country and farm dwellers. It also examines the bout of technology and modernization which existed mostly in the North. The differences between the North and South are stressed and questioned for their significance in being a catalyst for the war.
From the Paper "Geographic sectionalism leading to conflicting attitudes and issues in a growing and diverse new country was the underlying and basic cause of the US Civil War. Up until the time of the Missouri debates, there was a common understanding and agreement of adherence to the principles initially joining 13 diverse colonies into the country that would be the United States. The Civil War was the culmination of four decades of intense conflict and deep-seated economic, social and political differences between the North and the South."
Abstract The author analyzes the reason why some conflicts do not receive a response, despite an urgent need for such a response. More precisely, through the use of both liberalism and realism, the Sri Lankan conflict is analyzed, with the goal being to understand why, despite almost fifty years of obvious oppression, civilwar, and apartheid by the Sri Lankan government against the Tamil, there has been no international response.

Conclusion
From the Paper "Within the greater field of political science, international relations comes out as one of the more interesting areas of study. International relations is fascinating both to observe and two analyze for a number of reasons. First of all, although we often see international relations as referring only to the relationship between nations and different world governments and, hence, think of it as something which is remote from us, as individuals and citizens, it has a profound impact upon our lives. For example, the Syrian government's isolation from the non-Arab international community and the recent threats expressed by the United States regarding the consequences of refusing to withdraw from Lebanon, affect the lives of the average Syrian citizens. It affects them economically since trade and economic sanctions reduce investment and employment opportunities in the Syrian economy and affect their educational and even leisure opportunities as political sanctions make traveling all the more difficult for these citizens because they confront stricter visa requirements. The purpose of this particular example is to show that even though international relations appear remote, it is not. International relations is a part of our lives."

Abstract The essay discusses the causes of the American civilwar. The paper argues that the different economic and political systems in the Northern and Southern states caused tensions that led to the CivilWar.
Abstract This is an article review about how women helped during the CivilWar. The paper shows that the article is relevant, has authority and seems accurate with an objective viewpoint of both sides of the war.
Abstract This essay explains why slavery was the central issue that prompted the events surrounding the civilwar, as well as shows how slavery was central to economic issues that alone would not have been sufficient to instigate the war.
Abstract The paper explains that the American CivilWar was a ghastly testimonial to mankind's inhumanity. The paper shows how nowhere was this better exemplified than in the POW camps, where more people perished than on the battlefield. This paper then explores Andersonville, the most infamous of these prisons.
From the Paper "It is perhaps the Prisoner of War camps that best exemplify the cruel and deadly nature of the American Civil War. In the south, General John Henry Winder, supervisor for all the POW camps east of the Mississippi, once happily observed that more Union soldiers were dying in his prisons than on the battlefield. Of all these prisons the most infamous was undoubtedly Andersonville."

Abstract This paper shows how the study of the economics surrounding slavery can give a better understanding of the issues surrounding both slavery and the CivilWar. Topics covered include the origins of slavery, opposing views on slavery, the and the economic effectiveness of slavery.
From the Paper "Slavery and the civil war are very complex economic and historical issues. Many prominent Economic Historians view the institution of slavery vastly different from one another. With the difference in views also comes opposing opinions on whether or not the Civil War was actually needed to end the practice of slavery. While it is impossible to truly know what would have happened had events been different surrounding the American Civil War, it is possible to learn about the differences in opinions. Examining the origins of slavery, the opposing views of slavery, and the economics of the civil war can lend a clearer picture of this time frame"

Abstract This paper begins with a discussion of the increase in transportation during and immediately after the CivilWar. The author then explains what societal changes developed from the transportation changes. The author then explores other changes that occurred in that period, including immigration issues, urbanization, and the industrial revolution.
From the Paper "One of the most significant ways in which the western world changed during and after the Civil War is associated with transportation. "In 1800, the only way to travel on land was on your own two legs, or to use an animal. By 1900 steam trains were carrying millions of people at what seemed to be fantastic speeds. At sea, in 1800, ships were propelled by wind; if the wind stopped, the ship stopped... By 1900, iron and steel ships steamed the oceans, regardless of whether the wind blew or not." (Chamberlin, 6) Primarily, these changes were brought about by advancements in the refining of steel, and the invention of the steam engine. The consequences for travel and commerce in the United States and Europe were innumerable. Additionally, the social makeup of the land was drastically changed by these forces. In the United States, for example, when the Union Pacific Railroads traversed the thousands of miles of American soil; often, if the railways failed to pass through an existing town, the people moved away; in fact, new towns and cities were often formed by virtue of where the railroads converged. This began another large trend that would continue to this day: the urbanization of the developed world."
