Barack Obama

I couldn't find a specific article linking the civil war with today, but I thought that this was one lasting effects of the Civil War. The Civil War was the beginning of the end of slavery, and without the war, slavery could have been around much longer. Barack Obama would not currently be our president, and interracial marriage could still be illegal. I think that this was an important stepping stone in becoming what America is today.
