Question

How did the Civil War impact the culture of the South?

Answer 1

Answer: It changed the structure of the social order.

Explanation:

The Civil War ended slavery in the South and indeed in the United States and this led to a change in the social order. Enslaved people had been at the lowest level of the social hierarchy but now they had gained equal right as the white people.

The social order therefore had to change to recognize this and for a time it worked until the end of Reconstruction. The whites in the south then forcibly put black people are the bottom of the social order but this time, the blacks had more rights than when they were enslaved.
