How Civil War effected Americas Future!!! Ever think what would Happen if the confederate won the Civil War?:Slavery would have continued!?Their would have most likely been more wars and laws due to the fact some people did believe in slavery (people against slavery are abolitionists) .We probably not be as big a country that we are today because I think that most states would secede and stay seceded, and eventually form their own country.
