North VS. South: Advantages During the Civil War

            The Civil War was fought by the Northern side of America and by the Southern side of America. The war was fought over the growing issue of slavery. The North was against it and the South supported it. The North and The South were very different from each other and that brought up the essential question, How did the differences between the North and the South affect each region's strategy and success in the war? To answer this question we all made separate infographics to display what we thought the advantages were. In my infographic I chose to present the topic as, North VS. South: Advantages in the Civil War. Also, I split the infographic into two sections, advantages of the North and advantages of the South. For the North I chose to include population, railroad mileage, and number of factories. I chose these statistics because I thought they were the three main reasons why the North was so successful in the war. For the South I chose to include leadership, military tactics, and morale. These were included in the infographic because they are important to the South, but also because the South was unable to get ahead in other areas except for cotton growth. I didn't think cotton growth affected the war as much as the other three did. Overall, I think the reason why the North was more successful in the war than the South was because of their population. Population was so important because it meant the North would be able to hold its own against the South and still have men available to stay home and look after business related topics. Also, the South didn't have this advantage because instead of free men doing the work they had slaves doing it. The people with normal jobs wouldn't want to go to war because they wouldn't want to leave work due to money. This left the South in a vulnerable state.
