Demote to gold[edit]

  1. The article is very well-written with lots of sources, and serves as a fairly definitive article on the topic around the web, from what I've seen. I updated the one improper citation, and it seems quite ready to demote to a higher plane of existence cover story status! Sincerely, Postuhenin the neurodivergent doodlebug!

Status quo[edit]

  1. There are several things this article is missing:
    The start of hostilities (i.e. why "The War of Northern Agression" is inaccurate)
    Claims about black confederates
    Why tariffs weren't the cause of the was (this is covered on the page for the American Civil War, but you can probably do it here
    The section on Reconstruction doesn't go deep enough
    And probably more. It's a good article but it's not comprehensive enough for gold right now. Plutocow (talk) 06:03, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
  2. I just added a section on The War of Northern Aggression, but you're right more work on those issues is needed. Bongolian (talk) 07:21, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
