1.) 15,500,000 was the difference between the free population of north and south. We think the reason the enslaved population wasnt mentioned because all of the south had slaves and the north didnt have slaves.

2.)From the four categories the union had the biggest advantage on firearms production.The south could mak up for their disadvantage by selling their cotton and tabacco.

3.)The manufacturing plants and firearms would have the biggest advantage because manufacturing plants can give you money to buy firearms.

4.)Its not true because the south thought the north couldnt use a gun or do nothing in war and they had more expirience outdoors.

1. North has 22,000,000 free and the South has 5,500,000 free. The people that were enslaved was not included in the count because the people didn't really care for them.

2. The one that the Union had the biggest advantage was the North. The South could fight with words and have them do what they want.

3. The free population was the most biggest effect on the war because the North had more things then the South.

4. Maybe they believed that they could win and thought they could beat them they mostly had hope.

1.) The diffrence of free populion of the north and South is 16,500,000 in 1860.It ws not inculded in this count because it says Free population and their not free.

2.)The catogory in witch the union had the biggest advantge was firearms. They wanted to trade goods with england so they could recive weapons.

3.)We think that the firearms would would have a very big effect. They can attack the south any time.

4.)The Southeners nevr gave up fighting the war.

1.The difference was 16,500,000. Because they were slaves.

2.The Firearms production. I think that the south could not make up because they didn't have that much weapons.

3.The Firearms production had the biggest effect because the south had a big disadvantage on the weapons.

4.Because they believed in themselves and they knew they could succeed.

P:2 Ernesto C. & Gabriel V.

1. The north had more of a population then the south since it did not have slaver. It did not include slavery because the north didn't have slavery so they didn't count it.

2. The category that the union had the biggest advantage was the firearms production. How the south could make up for their disadvantage in that category is by steeling the northerners firearms and by buying weapons from England.

3. I think the biggest effect on the war as on how many miles of railroad the north had then the south because the north had 22,000 miles and it helped them carry more supplies for the war.

4. I think that was true because the southerners were trained for fighting and shooting and that they thought they were going to get help from England and that they had more friends then the northerners.

1.)16,500,000 and the reason why slaves werent counted was because the south didnt have any slaves.

2.)In the four categories the union that had the most advantage was the north and the south could make that up by telling england to send troops.

3.)The south would have the biggest affect because they had the least amount of people.

4.)The southern soldiers were more skilled than northern soldiers.

1) the difference between the north and south was that more northerns were free than the south.
2)i think the biggest advantage the Union have was the Firearms Production because they had less people or productions in the south.
3) i think the category that has the biggest effect on the war is free population because the south likes slavery & the north dislikes slavery.
4) It is true because the south has less soliders than the north

there were a higher population in the north by 16,500,000 i dont think slaves where counted because thatll be too much on the south.
north has more 97% firearms they had a advantage because that the important thing needed at war to kill.
the south could make up for this advantage by geating a greater population on the war.
the firearm wouldbe the advantage because what will anyone fight with with no protection.
the believed that slavery would never end and they thought the english had their back.

#1 slaves weren't included because the slaves would want to kill there masters and, it will be easier for slaves to runaway.

#2 the union advantage is miles of track there transportation is trains ,buses ships.the south don't have so much transportation.

#3population because theres more people to fight on the war.but south has a lot of slaves but they can escape.
#4 like there manufacturing plants and they can stop slavery and start selling there crops

1. The Enslaved population wasn't counted because the North Didn't count the slaves as Citizens of The union it was like basically calling them the pets because the pets were never counted.
2. The advantage the union had was that they were more prepared like they weren't missing any weapons or food or clothes.

1. The North had 16,500,000 more people than the South. The South didn't think slaves as people so they didn't count them in the free population.
2.We think that the North had a better advantage in firearms. The South might give the slaves different jobs also they can make the slaves make firearms.
3. We think that the category of manufacturing plants affect them the most because with an empt stomach comes a lack of energy to fight the war.
4. The South were more advance with fight skills. they knew how to ride horses and how to live out doors. All this things the North didn't know how to do.

2. I think the Union had the biggest advantage in Firearms Production, the South might have made up for that by expecting that the English were going to give them more weapons.
3.I think that the Production of Firearms was the biggest affect on the war because only three percent of the South actually produced weaponry.
4. They thought that they might have had a chance to win the war because they felt like they fought better than the north. They also expected that the English would help them during the war, that was what they thought before the blockade.

I think it was counted because back then they didnt think as them as people, and because they were in povertu.

2)Ithink that firearms in production because then the union could have more to protect themselves with. then they Union can fight back better.The South can try to steal their weapons but it can be a big risk..

3)They anufactoring plants because if they ran out of food then they had less energy to fight with.

4)They south believed in their selees they thought they could win no matter how much goods they didnt have the south really did believe in their selves.

2. I think the Firearms Production Was the biggest advantage the Union had. They could have surrendered and lost the battle or made some by themselves.

3. The Firearms Production was the biggest efect on the war because they had to find a way to make some guns.

1.)The difference was : 16,500,000. The slave population was not included because the people did not believe that slaves counted as people but as just objects.

2.) The Union had an advantage in the production of firearms. They made 97% more fire arms than the South.
They have better experienced people who had fought in previous wars. They had better people with fighting experience.

3.) We think that the Miles of Railroad Tracks had the biggest effect on the war. We believe that because the railroads provided transportation for the soldiers and people. Without the railroads moving around with the heavy weponds would be diffucult.

4.) Because the south believed that England and other countries would help them fight in the war. They believed that they would recieve support from bonds and loans from England.

2.The category Firearms Production because the south could of sold their cotton to England and buy or make their own weapons to help them in the war.

3.I think the Firearms Production because the South had no way to attack or defend themselves from the North without weapons.

4.The Northern economics were that some didnt have enough weapons
&the South had more experience on horse riding.

The one thing that I would add to your comments was that there was bravado on both sides -- each thought the war would be short, and that victory would be easy. The only thing they had in common was that they underestimated each other.
