Civil War:What were the difference between the North and the South in the Civil War?
Q. Could anyone help me Compare and contrast the North and the South in the civil war?
Asked by Bob Bob - Sat Jun 13 20:13:01 2009 - - 8 Answers - 1 Comments
A. The north was industrial based. The south was agriculturally based. The federal government began gaining too much power and wanted to have all cotton grown in the south processed in the north; however, the south could get better prices overseas (England). The south didn't like being told what to do and tried to succeed. The civil war started over the right to succeed from the union. For the first year or so, the civil war had nothing to do slavery. In fact, many northern officers publicly stated that they would call a temporary truce to help put down any slave rebellions. However, the war wasn't going well so the federal government made the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves. The north was industrialized. Once they started producing… [cont.]

Why was the American Civil War such a bitter and brutal affair?
Q. Why was the American Civil War such a bitter and brutal affair? As in, what exactly made the American Civil War the bloodiest war in US history? - so bloody that casualties in the American Civil War alone outnumber the total casualties and losses from all the other wars the United States participated in from the American Revolution all the way to the Vietnam War. Please explain your answer in-depth, with relevant examples and support. Thanks!

A. It was fought by generals who learned their trade at the time of Napoleon and generally the tactics used in the war were Napoleonic. That is, positions were assaulted by massed charges in an attempt to take a position by overwhelming the defenders. BUT, and here's the reason it was so bloody... The war was fought with what were effectively modern weapons. Rifled barrels ensured greater accuracy, repeating rifles ensured a greater rate of fire. The so called "Mine Ball" a 0.5 inch slug used in rifled barrels caused such massive wounds that a hit anywhere on the body took the soldier out of action, if the wound was in the torso then death was almost certain. So you have a war fought with modern weapons and Napoleonic tactics. That's why… [cont.]

A. There are walls and walls of books covering this subject. It would take days to answer this question. Basically the civil war started over "states rights" The Federal government was trying to enact controls over things that the southern states thought were their own business. They quit the Union and started their own nation, the Confederate States of America. The Union fought to get them back into the one nation. Slavery was legal in the southern states and in some northern states. After the Battle of Antietam in 1862, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed slaves in southern states, but not northern states.

A. Politically, the issue of states' rights versus the power of the national government being supreme was solved in favor of the Union. Secession was unconstitutional. The South's economy based on slave labor and the plantation system was destroyed. Blacks became second class citizens. You will find more information at the site below.

No group of citizens in the US would be able to arm itself sufficiently to fight the military forces. What would happen would be like the rebellion in Hungary with the same results. Citizens would be throwing Molotov cocktails while being run over by tanks.

A. Actually, the chances of it happening isn't that low. Usually the government plans it because they don't want the Earth to become over populated, kind of like that whole thing how AIDS started. The higher our population increases, the more likely the government will come out with some "DEATHLY" disease or a war will break out again. But to answer your question; with all the technology we have today and the more that comes out on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure there won't be many survivors on either side. Lets hope another civil war doesn't break out, if it does; were screwed.

A. You are going to make a bad start with your show if you begin by saying that it was the first war to be photographed. This is wrong. The first war photographs were taken by Roger Fenton during the Crimean War in the previous decade. I think you need to do quite a lot more research; this is fairly easy as I imagine that there have been one or two articles, nay, books even, written about Matthew Brady and the American Civil War. It's possible that you may find references to this subject on the Internet if you look hard.
