They thought it would be a short, glorious war with low casualties. That is why they rejected Winfield Scott's plan to wait till the blockade had starved and weakened the Confederacy, before moving in and attacking it.

∙ 8y agoThe Union completely mismanaged the US Civil War. The reasons are almost to numerous to try and list them all. One main cause for the delay was not waiting until the Union army numbered about 600,000 troops. This was completely possible in that in the four years of the war over 2 million Union troops had served. This can easily be noted in that in February of 1864, Lincoln asked the states to add another 500,000 recruits to the army. Clearly this should have been done in the middle of 1862 at the earliest reasonable time.

Why do mummies last so long?
Mummies last long because they are perserved. In anctient Egypt the people would get the bodies and put them in som type of liquid that would preserve the body, and then I think they would roll them in salt. Then they would put special oils on the bodies and that would complete the process of mummifiction.
