The civil war reconstructed society in many different ways. The world turned around after the civil war, due to the way society was starting to run. The civil war changed society due to the supreme court, and in economic ways. These ways helped influence society because it changed the way the world is run.
The supreme court formed after the civil war and was created by the United States constitution. The Supreme Court changed the way the court system is run and placed a security blanket for the people. According to the article THE SUPREME COURT COULD FOSTER A NEW KIND OF CIVIL WAR "Craig Green, professor of law at Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, expects that their potential targets could include a whole host of legal protections: on workers rights, consumer protections, environment, health care and much more (Berstein)." The supreme court changed the way society looks at life, and all the things that are provided with it.
Another way that the civil war changed society was economically. After the civil war a rebuilding of how society was run was put into place. The civil war changed society for women in the best way possible. According to The Women Who Revolutionized Nursing"But the Civil War would change the social, economic, and political landscape for women from every walk of American life—perhaps nowhere more so than in the field of nursing (ADRIENNE)." These economic stand points gave us a new world view perspective on money.
The civil war was a turning point for our world, women gained more rights in all fields. The civil war reconstructed the way society was run for the better, and allowed for a new beginning to occur. This was a huge step forward for modern day society. The civil war played a huge role in what expanded our horizons and opened our eyes to what had be done. Women branched out into the work field because they had too because the men were at war. This then led to a bright and changing future for women. According to the article Women in War "the Civil War profoundly altered women’s lives, opening new paths and allowing them to take on roles previously held largely by men. Nursing, which had been a male profession, is the best-known example (Heriones)." The benefit of women branching out with in society allowed for new chapter to begin in everyones lives. Because women started the process of creating their own identities and not just sticking to gender roles. This was the starting point to the shift in gender roles throughout society.
