Answer: If the South had won the civil war it would be safe to say many of the civil right advancements we’ve had wouldn’t have occurred.

Explanation: The South was all for slavery, and slavery was pretty much what they were fighting for so upon them winning it’s safe to assume that slavery would’ve continued to be legal. Another one would be women’s rights. Although the women’s suffrage movement didn’t take place right after the Civil War, it’s something that was implicitly made possible because of its outcome. The Southern ways of living was often ruled by the societal standard of women staying home while the men provided as well as the women’s submissiveness toward her husband.
