The Civil War left a great impact on us. It left many harmed and presently, we all remember what affected us. The Civil War made it hard for us to live in peace with ourselves. It left us sidetracked. We lost track of ourselves and what we wanted for ourselves. We started losing people faster than before. We lost our families. But now, we just sit back and act like it's nothing. We sugarcoat things. We hide these horrible facts from our children with a smile.
