Abstract:
As of today, American civil war still remains the deadliest war ever fought in the American soil.
Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee were some of the key players in this war and they are considered among the best politicians and military generals in the history of the United States.
Also Gettysburg Address by President Lincoln delivered during the Civil War is one of the most famous speeches in American history (Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech makes a reference to Gettysburg Address).
It is interesting that only half a century after civil war, America established herself as a global superpower and it shows the effectiveness of the efforts during the period of reconstruction after civil war.
