THE MINORITIES FROM DIFFERENT PLACES HELPS TO WIN THE WAR
When the war started many people around the world came to help. Confederate who wanted to get support from global market had succeeded in doing so. Some of the groups that they got help from were Jewish, Hispanic, American Indian, and Blacks. The Confederate seized Blacks to make them ght in war and because they knew that slaves will be more likely to join the Unions who would free them, the Confederate were very sensitive about them. Therefore, amongst the other ethnical Confederates, the Black Confederates had the most people to join the force. Even though at these times African Americans were still considered as lower beings, the Confederates had to pay them in order to make them stay in the force. It is interesting to know that many ethnical groups were involved in the civil war even though the Union had tried to cut off any support that the Confederates could possibly get.
Women also participated in the civil war. Even though most of them had been nurses, they were considered as important because they needed proper care and men were required in battle eld than in medical elds. Therefore, many women participated in the war helping doctors curing the injured ones. However, there were some instances where women also fought in the war.
There were lots of Black Confederates and some of them even were in high positions in the military. They were mostly paid with money and also in the army they could nearly get equal rights as whites, therefore, many of them had joined to ght against the Unions who wanted to free them from the slavery.

Confederate soldiers had harsh time in camp, they had great leaders and they followed their orders with respect and also they were very passionate and wanted to win the battles that they encountered. Most of them had volunteered to join the army.

KU KLUX KLAN Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in April 14, 1865. Even though he knew there was going to be conspiracy he went to the play. The war had made serious impact on the Confederate. The total war tactic of the Union had burnt down all the trees in the Confederate and many houses were destroyed. Because of the constant bombings and res, the some land soils no longer were suitable for harvesting. However, now that the Union and the Confederate had been united again, the people from the Union did not look down on the Confederates but they tried very hard to help them. The Confederates had lost everything from this war. The Union proclaimed 13th,14th, and 15th amendment to protect slavery and rights of the people making the Confederate no longer be able to use slavery. The currency of the Confederate was gone making the rich people in the Confederate poor and be dependent on the Union for money. One thing the Confederate gained was the reunion with the separated parts of the country. The reconstruction had happened and Lincoln had plans but he had been assassinated before he could move on with his plans. Some of the mistakes of the reconstruction was the setting railroads which will eventually rip off money from the country. South started to be diverse in the job choices because European countries no longer depended on their production of cotton and some Southerners tried to ll the damage by planting and producing more cottons which caused severe decrease in the price of the cotton. The South began to work on textile factories producing textile for the country and for economic development.
