A. Well I'm a college student studding to become a history teacher and the civil war is one of the ones I like the best. Most people learn about the key battles, Bull Run, Battle of Appomattox Courthouse, Battle of Vicksburg, Fort Sumter,etc. To answer your question I will try to list battles that I think are still important that don't get talked about a lot. Battle of Fort Fisher, Attack at Trent's Reach,Battle of Hatcher's Run, Capture of Columbia, S.C. and Maj. Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman of the Union Army "March to the Sea". These battles lead to the end of the war. I don't know what you plan to write about but I hope that helps even if it does so just a little. :)

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 - 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.

How did the civil war divide the country?
Q. How did the civil war war divide the country politically, socially, morally, and geographically? Also, do you think we could have resolved the differences without war and could we have found freedom another way?
Asked by AnoymonousJay - Sun Mar 2 22:24:17 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. politically: it split all the parties. E.g. suppose to be democrats v. republicans but it became northern democrats w/ northern republicans v. southern dems and repub. moral: north: free slaves, evertone equal, south: keep slaves, slave inferior geographically: Confederacy v Union, Alabama, South Carolina, etc. seceded from U.S. No way. The war was not just, are slaves equal? It was about economics. The Southerners needed free labor for cotton production. Without them, the plantations would fail and they would be bankrupt. so Southerners needed slaves for survival. Was not simply a moral issue for more, go to hope this helped.

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.

A. My knowledge on this is a little hazy, but I think I can help a bit. First, the Wizard of Oz was written as a kind of satirical metaphor which was meant to critique the gold standard. The gold standard, back in the late 19th / early 20th century was considered by many to be the root cause of the deflation which was hurting a lot of people, especially farmers (and there was looots of farmers back then). The way that works is like this. Most farmers back then were debtors, so when they would take out a loan, let's say for $1,000. Deflation would cause the value of everything to go down, including the price of their crops which we'll say were worth $1,000 - or just enough to pay back the loan (not counting interest).

A. Reconstruction was not like the name implies. It was an occupation only. The Union soldiers were suppose to be a police force but they did a bad job. This situation caused the development of the KKK which sparked racial tension and the long road toward civil rights in the 50's and 60's.

The government punished the south by having higher transportation taxes on goods going south than goods going north causing higher prices on items for sale in the south.… [cont.]

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.

A. I don't think there was any very effective treatement for tuberculosis (consumption as they called it then). People used to believe that it was good to go to places with fresh air, mountains etc, in Europe there were sanotariums in places like Switzerland which were popular with those who could afford them. I expect there were similar places in the USA. Injecting air into the chest cavity was thought to be helpful, but I don't suppose it did any good really. Apparently they also tried to reduce lung size through surgery. It was all pretty hopeless though. TB accounted for 25% of deaths in Europe during the 19th century, and I expect it was as bad in America.

It had lost nearly all of its overseas possessions (e.g. Cuba, the Philippines) and great extremes of wealth and poverty caused severe social tensions. Industry was confined mainly to Barcelona and the Basque country. Spaniards were divided on the type of government that they wanted. Monarchists were conservative and Catholics and did not want to reform Spain. Those who wanted a republic were anti-clerical and hoped to reform Spanish society.

A. Spain was once the World s most powerful country. By the 20th century it was a poor and backward country where corruption was rife. It had lost nearly all of its overseas possessions (e.g. Cuba, the Philippines) and great extremes of wealth and poverty caused severe social tensions. Industry was confined mainly to Barcelona and the Basque country. Spaniards were divided on the type of government that they wanted. Monarchists were conservative and Catholics and did not want to reform Spain. Those who wanted a republic were anti-clerical and hoped to reform Spanish society.

A. Texas, California, New Mexico, Kansas, and many other states all debated slavery as an issue. The thing is, the 3/5 compromise provided more seats for southern representatives in the House and the Missouri Compromise provided more seats for southern senators in the Senate. It jeopardized the balance of power. The Civil War could have been prevented by President Buchanan. It was during his presidency, although he was a lame duck by then, that the South began to mobilize. Buchanan refused to do anything about it out of spite he wanted Lincoln to have problems on his hands when Abe came to power on March 4, 1861 (by which time, South was ready for war).
