How it ended The Civil War ended with Confederate surrendered to Union troops.

Effects Without the Civil War, America wouldn’t be what it is today. The south seceded, but we wouldn’t be the United States of America. There would be a United States and the Confederate States of America. Slavery would most likely not be around now, however it would’ve carried on past 1865.
