Waaaait, WHAT !?
The North won the war? I thought this worked the other way ..
The side I thought that was supposed to win was the one with not really an advantage of people and ammunition.
But doesn't North have all this ?
But it was different for the Revolutionary War !?
Doesn't this have my mind totally boggling !!!
Buuuut , let's talk about why the North did win!
Their biggest advantage was : their resources! Economically , and with Man-Power!
Compared to the South ...
Their population was 5 to 2
Industrial Production was 10 to 1
Capital in banks 4 to 1
Hmm , sounds kind of powerful to me .
They were also fighting this war for a humanitarian nature ; abolishing slavery.
At the same time their tactic was an unique one called : Anaconda Plan.
The Southern also had their advantages, but in this case they were not the ones that would exactly bring much favor to the South.
They were fighting a defensive war, and whilst where also fighting in their home field.
Although, these tactics somewhat proved effective in the Revolutionary War, they were not able to help them out in this war .
Well , the Country is at a successful state right now ..except the debt part ..but we're ALL surviving :)
The North winning had obviously something to do with is ..so it's best to appriciate it now :D !
