The South had two major disadvantages in the US Civil War. One was that their troop strength could never match that of the Union's , The North had over 23 million people compared to 11 million in the South. Also, the North's manufacturing capability could not be matched by the cropland economy of the South. These Confederate disadvantages were the advantages of the North.

It would be more nearly correct to state that the military leaders of the South were far superior to those of the North. General Winfield Scott had offered command of Union forces to Robert E. Lee, who declined because his conscience would not let him fight against his native Virginia.

The major effect of the Great Depression and the New Deal on America was expanded government intervention into new areas of social and economic affairs and the creation of more social assistance agencies at the national level. The relationship between the national government and the people changed drastically. The government took on a greater role in the everyday social and economic lives of the people. The New Deal programs of FDR also created a liberal political alliance made up of labor unions, blacks and other ethnic and religious minorities, intellectuals, the poor, and some farmers. These groups became the backbone of the Democratic Party for decades following the Depression. As the federal government grew with new agencies and reform attempts, the cost of government increased. The grow of the government continued following the New Deal.

The Great Depression and the New Deal measure led to the domestic programs of JFK's New Frontier, and LBJ's Great Society and War on Poverty. The New Deal measures have also an influence on the current Obama administration, in its attempts to stimulate the economy.

The reconstruction took power away from the States and put them in the hands of s central government. The Nation was based on the States rights and having sovereignty FROM the Federal Government. The Federal Government was initially formed to act as a meeting place and body for the States to come together and make law. That has all changed. States Rights no longer supersede Federal rights. In our country today, Federal Law is the law of the land. This country can only be run by the citizens of the individual states, That was why the Senate and Congress were set up, So each state was represented in the Federal Government. When new federal programs took the lead, the state became the pawns of Big Government and now, if a State does not comply with Federal Law or recommendations, they are penalized by the Federal Government.

The well-meant attempt to put the slavery question to a local vote in each new state.

When they tried it in Kansas, the voters were intimidated by mounted terrorists from outside the state.

This demonstrated that the slavery question was likely to spark a war.

Several areas. All along the southern seacoast the US Navy tried, throughout the war, to enforce a blockade, to prevent supplies from abroad getting in to the Confederacy, and to prevent the Confederates from exporting goods to raise cash. Southerners, mostly private individuals but some government efforts, responded by fitting out fast ships to run the blockade, to export goods and import needed supplies.

In the Civil War the "east" was the area between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coast, and the "west" was the area between the Appalachians and the Mississippi. In the east the rivers run west to east, the the sea. This helped the Rebels, as the rivers made natural barriers behind which they could defend against the Yankees. In the west, the Rivers run north and south, and this provided a natural pathway for the Union to penetrate into southern territory. The riverine Naval War on western waters was very, very important to the eventual Union victory.

The Confederates had a small number of "commerce raiders". These were fairly large, fast ships, most bought in England. They belonged to the Confederate Navy, and roamed the oceans of the world capturing Yankee ships - mostly cargo ships. This activity tied up a large number of Union Navy ships, trying to hunt down and eliminate the Rebel commerce raiders. One famous naval battle of the war took place just off the coast of France, near Cherbourg, where the USS Kearsarge sank the CSS Alabama.

There was much fighting in or near several southern port cities, such as Charleston, South Carolina, Wilmington, North Carolina, and Mobile, Alabama. Ironclads of both sides were used. The Confederates made the first successful submarine attack in the world at Charleston, when the Hunley sank the USS Housatonic.

It meant they would not have to face the British and French armies on the side of the Confederates.

Whether they also felt a new sense of moral mission is dubious. The mid-term elections did not seem to reflect this.

The Union army under US Grant was meant to take care of Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. It eventually succeeded - after the terrible siege of Petersburg, which was simply a slugging match, with Grant knowing that the Confederates could not replace their losses. The surrender came when Lee's lines were so stretched that they couldn't hold.

The other Union army under Sherman was meant to destroy the Army of Tennessee under Joe Johnston (replaced by John Hood). It did not succeed in doing this. But Sherman had worked out his new strategy of attacking the infrastructure that supported the Confederate armies - devastating the rich farmland of Georgia and South Carolina. There were not enough enemy troops to stop him, although the talented Joe Johnston had been brought back to command what few Confederate units remained in that area. They surrendered about two weeks after Lee.

The very last major engagement of Union and Confederate forces was the Battle of Palmito Ranch on May 12-13, 1865 between armies under the command of Union General Lew Wallace, and Confederate General John G. Walker, though neither general participated in the battle, and ended with a force of 300 Confederates defeating over 1700 Federals. Some historians, as well as, the Official Record of the Civil War consider this battle to be a post-war engagement, and the Battle of Columbus to be the true last battle. It is worth mentioning that the official record of any war is written by the winner of said war, in this case the Union, and has been suggested that Union officials refused to recognize a Confederate victory as the final battle, particularly when 1700 - 1900 Union troops were defeated by 300 - 400 Confederates.

The last official battle of the Civil War was the Battle of Columbus on the Georgia/Alabama border on April 16, 1865, 2 days after Lincoln was killed, between Union General James H. Wilson, and Confederate General Howell Cobb and ended in a Union victory.

On a side note: In the Battle of Columbus a Confederate soldier named John Pemberton was injured by the slash of a sabre, and it was this injury that led him to become a pharmacist after the war preoccupied with creating formulas for pain killers and ultimately leading to the invention of Coca-Cola.

Also of note: Lew Wallace from Palmito Ranch, later gained notoriety as the Governor of New Mexico that offered a full pardon to Billy the Kid, but later reneged because of political pressure, and became somewhat famous as author of what was considered "the most influential Christian book of the nineteenth century" Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
