“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. This research analyzes existing data to review the impact on unemployment in the U.S. following each conflict and war it has been involved in. There is a comparison drawn to the Roman Economy and its dependence on war to and the economy of the U.S. and the causes of its ability to have economic success and the impact on unemployment of U.S. workers as a result.
