The civil war also combined new freedoms by bringing breakdown, trauma, and tragedies. The war overstated the failure of the American system and it compromised that the system had never weakened the institution of slavery. Moreover, the long-term outcome of this revolutionary decision was between political revenge, competing pressures for reconciliation, reunion, and forgiveness (Davis, Inhuman Bondage, 299). Furthermore, the desire for reconciliation and healing that was strengthened by white racism and disappointment over modernizations led to a division that divided whites from blacks and deprived emancipation (Davis, Inhuman bondage, 305).

As the war expanded it took the lives of many, however, the expansion of the market revolution might have played a role in this revolutionary
