That's a good question. Many people wish there hadn't been a civil war but I have to say I'm almost glad there was. Yes, it was tragic, but people learn from their mistakes. It was bound to happen sooner or later but it taught us a lesson. And a good one too. The civil war was a terrible thing but if it hadn't happened then think what the world would be like today... We might me having a civil war right now By the way please note I'm only 12 so my answer may not be exactly what you were looking for but that is my personal opinion. Sometimes people die for good reasons, even if they seem bad at the time.

∙ 11y agoIt's hard to say. There was bound to be some sort of "confrontation" at some point, even if there was no civil war as it historically happened. Abolitionism in the North was growing too strong, and entrenched pro-slavery folks in the South were equally defiant. The "Bleeding Kansas" incident in the late 1850's shows just how strongly people felt about it.
By the time the war started in April 1861, most major "civilized" countries had banned slavery and other similar institutions (for example, Russia had ended serfdom in March 1861). But slavery in the US was by no means on its way out; it was still alive and well in states where it was legal. In 1860, there were almost 4 million black slaves in the US- more than there ever had been in US history.
So at some point, there was bound to be a fight of some kind. With tempers running high (illustrated by Bleeding Kansas and folks like John Brown), it was probably going to be some sort of actual fighting or war.

What is the difference between a world war and a Civil War?
A World War (like World War I and World War II) has a lot of the world participating (in a more friendly word) in it. A Civil War (like the Vietnamese Civil War/Vietnam War or the USA Civil war) is when a large body fights against each other in a war. It's not like when your class can't decide whether to have pepperoni or cheese for your pizza party.
