18. Affects of the Civil War I believe the Civil War had a great many positive affects on America but it also had a some negative ones too. Some of these negative effects are a great loss of life, inflation, and the separation of America. Luckily all these problems were resolved, well all except the loss of life that is. On a lighter note the, the Civil War ended a great many of America’s problems as well. To give an example, Slavery, and also made it so that states could no longer secede when ever they felt like it. So, in my opinion the was a well executed idea that ended in success.

Terms of Surrender Major Artillery would be turned over Side Arms, Horses, and Mules would remain No imprisonment for treason Conclusion There were still small skirmishes after the surrender, this was because 175,000 Confederate troops remained in the field.
