After the war was over, the Constitution was amended to free the slaves

It makes sense to refer to the abolition of slavery as the most significant outcome of the Civil War as it was one of the primary causes of the war's outbreak.


The Constitution was changed after the war to free the slaves, guarantee "equal protection under the law" for all Americans, and give black males the right to vote. Abraham Lincoln granted some slaves their freedom during the conflict and let freedmen enlist in the Union Army as the United States Colored Troops (U.S.C.T.). Many people understood that the complete abolition of slavery was simply a question of time.


The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution were added by the northern states as the war came to an end, but before the southern states were once again admitted to the union. The changes are often referred to as the "Civil War Amendments." The 13th Amendment formally ended slavery in the US, the 14th Amendment established the principle of "equal protection under the law," and the 15th Amendment guaranteed the right to vote to black men. As long as various citizen groups continue to advocate for equal treatment by the government, the 14th Amendment will continue to play a significant role in American culture. The Constitution was changed, which is considered one of the most interesting facts about the American Civil War.
