Write an informative essay analyzing the effects the Civil War had on Americans and their ideas about freedom.

The Civil War was an armed confrontation that took place between 1861 and 1865, between the states of the North, abolitionists and members of the Union; and the states of the South, slavers and grouped in the Confederation. During this conflict, more than 600,000 Americans died, which constituted the most lethal war that took place in the United States. Ultimately, the Union was victorious, and slavery was abolished throughout the country.
