How was the Civil War different from the revoloutionary war?

Answer 1

• They were both fought on American soil.

• One of the underlying causes was economic freedom.

• Another was political freedom: the right to secede from the country that governed them.

• Both were primarily a land war, but with important naval battles.

• Both were directed by someone who will forever be remembered as a presidential hero.

• And of course, both changed the course of American history.

Answer 2

Both started off with taxation without representation, but for one thing the revolutionary war was the 13 colonies fighting the British. The revolutionary war also was 8 years why'll the civil war was 5. The civil war was also America fighting itself. And of course the outcome of the revolutionary war created the united states, why'll the civil war ended in a nation being destroyed before it was stable.

Answer 3

The DingoBot has made a mistake. The answer is correct without repeating anything.

The main difference between the US Civil War and the American Revolutionary War was as follows:

A. The American Revolution was about 13 British colonies seeking their independence from their "home country". The US Civil War was about a standing nation, the USA, and part of its States seeking to create a new nation by breaking away from not the "home country" but from its own standing government which the South was once apart of;

B. The American Revolution had military deaths at a small fraction of those in the US Civil War;

C. In the American Revolution, France and others, primarily France however provided important military help to the colonies. In the US Civil War, the rebellion Southern States received no military aid from any European power;

D. The result of the American Revolutionary War was the creation of a new nation as Great Britain gave up its attempt to stop the Americans and sued for peace. There was actually a peace treaty that was signed in Paris. In the US Civil War, the States in rebellion were defeated and there was no peace treaty; and

E. The social issue in the US Civil War was one about slavery. In the American Revolution, slavery was never an issue.
