The Confederacy saw themselves as fighting a second war for independence. They were rebelling against what they felt was an oppressive government that was infringing on their rights.
Lincoln referenced the forefathers in his Gettysburg Address and felt that keeping the union together was what they had fought for, they created a new nation, not one that should be torn apart.

During WWll, with white men fighting overseas, African Americans were able to get better job opportunities, and a new law passed saying that blacks and whites had to be in integrated units in the army. But, when the war ended and black soldiers returned to America they weren't greeted with a hero's welcome and instead were treated like all other blacks- they were forced to be segregated. This change from almost equality to none at all really fired up the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950's and 1960's.
Nope, it’s honestly completely normal, I really haven’t thought about what I want to do as a career or what college I want to go to. Everybody goes at their own pace and that’s perfectly okay. :)
