How was the souths situation in the civil war similar to the situation of the in the patriots in revolutionary war?

In the Civil War, there are many different opinions of right and wrong, but one thing is for sure: Lincoln went against the constitutional rights of the secessed states by forcibly trying to keep them in the Union. In this respect, the Southern states were like the patriots of the Revolution, under the oppressive influence of a sovereign power. Even though the institution they were trying to defend (slavery) was dead wrong, the Union was dead wrong in the way they went about abolishing it. The interesting fact about the Confederacy is that most Confederate soldiers owned no slaves. They were too poor. In Lincoln's defense, he had to do something, and Civil War resulted from his course of action. The only major difference between the South and the patriots of the Revolution is that the Southern states were fighting for their freedom and rights while they were denying freedom to others, which was completely wrong. Something had to be done do abolish slavery. Hopefully that was the answer you were looking for.

What sides fought in Civil War?

The two sides that fought in the Civil War were the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). The North was fighting to unite the country again and to end slavery. While the South was fighting to keep slavery. The South relied heavily on slavery because many people lived on huge plantations that required much labor, so slavery was a cheap way to acquire that amount of labor that was needed. The North obviously won the Civil War. They won in April 9, 1865 after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
