STRENGTHS & WEAKNESSES Civil War

QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT… WHICH SIDE… Had a larger population (more soldiers)? Had more supplies (guns, ammunition, food, etc.)? Had better generals? Had a stronger navy? Had more railroads? Was more familiar to the battle ground fought on? Had stronger government control?

NORTH: “Union” STRENGTHS Greater population (22 million; more soldiers & factory workers to make supplies). Industry created money & supplies for Union army. Strong navy and large fleet. Had more than 70% of nation’s railroads, which transported both troops and supplies.

NORTH: “Union” WEAKNESSES ? Lincoln had trouble finding good military leaders. They faced a difficult military challenge— Invaded unfamiliar land Open to attack Used up more supplies They had to conquer a HUGE land area.

SOUTH: “Confederacy” STRENGTHS skilled soldiers (used to hunting). Better military leaders. They had a strong advantage of fighting a defensive war (waiting for the North). Fighting for independence gave men bravery.

SOUTH: “Confederacy” WEAKNESSES Few factories to produce weapons and other supplies. Few railroads to move troops and supplies. No navy. Favored states’ rights and so they had more political problems. Smaller population (9 million).
