1. Many people today believe that the Civil War was more demanding, painful, costly, and vital, than the Revolutionary War.
2. Famous people like the founding fathers would write memoirs and biographys to try to change how history would be viewed when looked back on in the years to come.
3. The Revolutionary War was seen more by things like the Boston Massacre, and Boston Tea Party, and other events rather than an actual war with battles. But the Civil War was remembered by specific battles, this makes the civil war seem more important to some.
4. Within a decade after the war, every single general from the Continental Army had died therefore the first hadn expeirence was lost making the war not as interesting or seem as important.
5. There were photographs and documents recovered from the Civil War, making it more realistic and worse since the actual facts are there rather than forgotten details.
