How did the Civil War change from a limited war to preserve the Union into a ""total war"" to abolish slavery?

History

luda_lava [24]3 years ago

At the beginning of the war, the main purpose that the North had was to preserve the Union. This was threatened due to the decision of the South to secede from the Union. This means that the war was mostly a reaction to the Confederacy, and it had one main purpose.

This, however, changed as the war progressed. The preservation of the Union remained an important objective, but slavery began to gain more prominence. This was particularly true once the North believed victory to be possible. The war changed from objecting the creation of the Confederacy to objecting the way of life in the South. Moreover, it became clear that as long as slavery continued to exist, it would be impossible to completely restore peace and unity to the nation. Therefore, in later years, the Civil War became a total war with the purpose of abolishing slavery.

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage? the detonation of a bom
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.
