The North's victory was eventually achieved by leveraging advantages in population, manufacturing and logistics and through a strategic naval blockade denying the Confederacy access to the world's markets. In many ways, the conflict's central issues – the role of constitutional federal government, the rights of states, slavery and the treatment of African-Americans – are still not completely resolved. Not surprisingly, the Confederate Army's surrender at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 did little to change many Americans' attitudes toward the potential powers of central government. The passage of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution in the years immediately following the war couldn't change the racial prejudice prevalent among Americans of the day; and the process of Reconstruction couldn't heal the deeply personal wounds inflicted by four brutal years of war and more than 970,000 casualties – 3 percent of the population, including approximately 560,000 deaths. As a result, controversies affected by the war's unresolved social, political, economic and racial tensions continue to shape contemporary American thought. The causes of the war, the reasons for the outcome, and even the name of the war itself, are subjects of much controversy, even today. {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | More about the American Civil War... }} Featured article Template:Portal:American Civil War/Featured article/04 {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | Archive • Create • Talk }} Grand Parade of the States Template:Portal:American Civil War/Grand Parade of the States/04 {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | Archive • Create • Talk }} Selected biography Template:Portal:American Civil War/Selected biography/16 {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | Archive • Create • Talk }} Categories Template:Portal:American Civil War/Categories {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | }} WikiProjects Template:Portal:American Civil War/WikiProjects {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | }} This week in American Civil War history Template:Portal:American Civil War/This week in American Civil War history/18 {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | Add event • Talk }} Selected picture Template:Portal:American Civil War/Selected picture/16 {{Wikipedia:Wikiportal/box-footer | Archive • Create • Talk }} Did you know...
