Rebuilding |
In the Civil War there were over 600,000 people that died, over one million injured, and all together a nation in shambles. The US started to plan what they were going to do, the biggest paln being giving Afican Americans Rights. Though there was a little bump in the road when president Abraham Lincoln got assasinated, Andrew Jackson and the nation quickly recovered and got back on the path of rebuilding. It took the nation a while, but eventually with the buidling of the nation's capitol we were finally a unified country again.
