Civil War impacted American society and culture deeply. First, the Civil War impacted the culture of slavery especially on the Southern States when slavery was abolished, the southern society had to accept the fact and accept African Americans as part of their society, which eventually led to the Black Codes as a way to ignore them.
Also, the Civil War impacted by the major killing of the soldier from the Confederacy and the Union, 2% of the American Population was killed in 1861. But also the Civil War forged a stronger nation that would not be divided over problems such as slavery and others.
This quote was stated by Baron de Montesquieu, a french philosopher. Montesquieu strongly opposed the aristocracy prevalent in France and condemned the corrupt practices conducted by them.
His contributions to political theory are still revered and studied by many scholars even today. He advocated natural human rights and was an eminent philosopher of the Enlightenment Period.
Montesquieu argued that when legislative and executive powers are given to the same person, he/she may become corrupt and tyrannical.
In this way, the common people would lose their basic rights and freedom because higher individuals with too much power become despotic and dictatorial.
