Truthfully the answer to this question is really based on how you look at it.

My view is yes. I believe that if we did not have a civil war we would be split or possibly made part of some other country like France. Our nation's army was divided in half so if Another Country tried to attack, we would have been murdered due to the fact that we didn't have the man power we needed to withstand such an attack. Since the North won the war, they required for the South to promise never split from the Union. Now we have a nation who has the strongest military power and the strongest government in the world.

Other people may say that Civil Was was not needed. They believe that either one of two things would have happened. One would be that America would be a country with slaves. The other possibility is that people would have realized that slavery couldn't last forever.

So whether or not it was just depends how you look at it.
