Did the civil war really redefine what it means to be american? Well, in the Sullivan Ballou Letter Rhode Islander felt that he shouldn’t have just ran away back to his family he felt the need to fight for the freedom of oppressed people and he wanted equal rights. Again, in Ain’t I a Woman Sojourner Truth wants equal rights and a fair treatment but altogether nothing was really fair at that time. After all, in Chasing Lincoln’s Killer all the people were choosing sides and when they were at war they not only lost the fight but they lost a lot of people. So, yes the civil war redifined what it meant to be american wether if it was good or bad. Yes, a lot was lost but at least in one point the slavery stopped, what they were fight to stop.
