which was to maintain their very profitable and sustainable way of life. Consequently, even though

unspeakable. Though the North made an attempt to begin social programs to assist reunify the
country, it soon abandoned its lofty goals order for political reasons and left the South to its own
devices. Further students can postulate what alternatives were available to avoid such a bloody war
whose effects are still felt today.
