Best Answer

It could look like that, because of its bigger population and industrial advantages.

But there were many moments when the South looked like winning, especially when it came to the General Election of 1864, which Lincoln privately thought he would lose.

If that had happened, the new President McLellan would probably have negotiated a peace that could only have meant Southern independence.

What years make up the middle ages?

The middle ages lasted approx. 900 years. They began around 500 AD and lasted until 1400 AD. Historians disagree on the exact year they began. Some say it started with the barbarian Odoacer overthrowing Emperor Romulus Augustus in 476 AD. Others feel it began in 410 when Alaric sacked Rome ( I agree with this one). There is also a disagreement on when it ended. Some say it was with the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and others say with the discovery of North America in 1492. Finally, a third group thinks it was with the beginning of the Reformation in 1517 ( I also agree with the this group).

What does Barack Obama value from the US?

There are many internet myths, some of which began on political talk shows, which claim President Obama does not value the United States, or does not love America. Such claims are false. The president is an American and he loves his country. He may not agree with every action the government took over the centuries (such as allowing segregation or denying women the right to vote), but it is not anti-American to disagree with decisions the government has made.That is one thing the president especially admires about America: people have the freedom to agree or disagree, to speak their mind, to express their point of view, as guaranteed in the First Amendment. Similarly, people can disagree with a president's policies, support the candidate of their choice, and advocate for the causes they believe in-- all of these are part of the values that Barack Obama supports and respects. And it should be stated that whether the president is a Democrat or a Republican, and whether you agree with his policies or not, that does not mean he is lacking in American values.
