  The Civil War: Avoidance Potential
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Inasmuch as there were tremendous political, economic, social, and legal changes occurring just prior to the Civil War, could this bloody battle have been averted by any course of action? Indeed, it can readily be argued that a handful of singular battles may have, indeed, been avoided in the long run; however, the Civil War was destined to explode with much the same anger it had in spite of great strides to prevent such an outburst. However, there was one aspect of the war's instigation that could not have seen any circumvention: the threat to national democracy. The writer discusses that when assessing this historical possibility, it is important to consider the fact that fury was high between the two sides, rendering a complete absolution extremely unlikely. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
Confederate Major Henry Wirz has had his name soiled throughout history as the man responsible for some horrendous war crimes (mostly at Andersonville) during the conflict between North and South. In fact, he was the only Southern official to be executed for such crimes at the conclusion of the Civil War. In this 40 page thesis, the writer argues that Wirz was not as guilty as historians make him out to be;-- Through an in-depth analysis of Civil War history, the point is made that Wirz was actually only a scapegoat--and not genuinely responsible for the crimes that were committed. Bibliography lists approximately 30 sources.
