The Effect the Civil War had on America If the Civil War had not occurred, then America wouldn't be what it is today. If the War hadn’t happened, then we wouldn't be the United States as a whole union. There would be a Confederate States of America and we would probably be living there. Slavery would have kept going on through If the war didn’t take place, the treatment between races would be completely different. ine.com
