- How did the Civil War effect our future? The civil war in my
perspective changed my future in plenty of ways. If the Civil War
had not been fought we might have still kept slaves and the idea
that every man is created equal would not be fulfilled, and states
could have seceded whenever they wanted to. We might have fifty
states with fifty different governments. Or we might not have fifty
states at all. Freedom of speech might have never come into play or
our we might not have states rights.
