Question- "The Civil War was the contemporary equivalent of a nuclear attack on the nation"-so writes a prominent scholar. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
~What were the constitutional issues that led to the Civil War?
~Why were Americans unable to resolve those issues peacefully?
We, here at Marion, agree with the statement made by William Banks. The Civil War resembles a nuclear attack in quite a few aspects. The obvious reason is because the Civil War killed thousands of people, just as a nuclear attack would. Another reason is because of what it did to the economy, praticularly in the South. The war destroyed the South's cropland, which was the South's main source of revenue. By the end of the Civil War, the South was experianceing a depression, while the North had an inflated economy.
