Allies of the Civil War:Confederate: Union:Britain FranceThe Confederates needed money
to buy supplies such as weapons and etc., and they sold cotton and other farm foods to the other countries, because they were an
AGRAIRAN SOCIETY.
The Union had no allies, also they did not need to sell anything because they were not a agrarian society they were an industrial society so they supplied there own weapons.

How did it end?It ended badly for the Confederate when
General Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse on April 9th, 1865. By General lee surrendering it ended the war and allowed slavery to end and for the states to become together again. General Grant for the Union did not arrest or put any confederate troops or Robert E. Lee in a prison camp or execute them because he wanted to get America back together in one piece and get everyone to get along as quickly and fast as possible.

How did the Civil War Affect America’s Future?
It affected Americas future by ending slavery. If the Confederates states would of won the Civil War then slavery might still be around and our schooling, work environments and everything all together would be involved with slavery. Also it affected America's future by that today, right now America might not be all of the states that there are now, it might of become the Confederate States become a country and the Union states become a country because not every side would not get along.
