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

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The South's situation in the Civil War was similar to the situation of the Patriots in the Revolutionary War in that they were both fighting against a more powerful and established government. Both the South and the Patriots were also fighting primarily for their independence and the preservation of their way of life. Additionally, both the South and the Patriots faced economic and logistical challenges in their respective wars.
