Approximately 620,000 soldiers both from the confederates and union soldiers died in the war. A lot of men were wounded in the war and that messed up their education and affected their families.**//

 * //After the war, the federal government assumed supreme national authority and no state has ever supreme national authority and no state has ever seceded again. The states rights issue didn't go away, and it led to different directions from the secession. The war gave the government more power than they originally had. During the war the federal government tore reluctant men from their families to fight in the war. This made families sad and upset because most of them were without a father and a husband. Today arguments about states rights versus federal control focus on such issues as whether the state or national government should determine how to use local funds.//**

 * //The civil war had a profound impact on the nations economy. The federal government did a lot to help businesses. One way was passing the National Bank Act of 1863. This act setted up a system of federal chartered banks, allowed people to acquire loans, and also provided for banks to be inspected. These measures helped banking safer for people and especially investors. The war took away a lot of cheap labor from the south's economy, and messed up most of the regions industries. The war caused the south to lose 40 percent of the livestock, destroyed most of their far machinery, and railroads. And it also left a lot of acres of land uncultivated//.**

 * //The war helped chane lives as far a African Americans goes. After the war the Emancipation Proclamation freed only slaves who lived in the states that were controlled by confederates. But the government didn't know what to do about the border states, and they knew they had to do something about it. So Abraham Lincoln made a constitutional amendmnent in the summer of 1864. This was the thirteenth amendment. After the thirteenth amendment passed the African Americans were allowed to go to school. They made up a group for education called "The Freedmen's Bureau". But ther was still a lot of racism and unfair treatment towards the African Americans.//**
