This week in Honors History 10 class we learned about how slavery affected the success of the civil war. The essential question was "How did the differences between the North and the South affect each region's strategy and success for the civil war?" To answer this question we made infograms that provided statistics about the North and the South.The North had a big population of 23,000,000 and railroad mileage of 22,000. The South had a smaller population of only 8,700,000 but they had all different kinds of labor and they had slaves to do this labor. This process helped me better understand the the situations faced by the Union and the Confederacy at the start of the war because the Union wanted slavery but the confederates did not. The confederates made a constitution stating that owning slaves in The United States is prohibited.
