Did the north or south spend more money on the civil war?

This is a more complicated question than you would think.The South had a policy of inflationary currency, this means that things cost much much more in the south than the north. TO the point that currency was used as wall paper because it was cheaper.The south did not have as large an industrial base as the North and that made things much more expensive to build.Much of the war Material had to be imported by the South, again very expensive.In the end while the South probably spent more money, but the North built more war supplies by far and equipped more troops.So what it comes down to: what does your teacher want to hear? The North was able to produce and deploy significantly more material and troops and that is what made the difference in the war.


Did the North win in the Battle of Shiloh?

No. The South won by 3,000 people wounded and dead. The North had 13,000 soldiers wounded or dead. The South only had 10,000. Despite the death toll, the North was able to reinforce its forces and advance, while the South, unable to make good their losses, retreated; leaving the North in command of the field, which is the usual definition of victory in battle.


What are the strength and weakness of both sides of the civil war?

The North had to do the invading. The South was mostly fighting on home ground, with which they were more familiar, and where local civilians were able to help. The North was industrialised, and able to manufacture all manner of war supplies. The South was agricultural and had to improvise its war production. The North was free to import and export throughout the war. The South was increasingly blockaded. The North had little experience of cavalry. The South had a strong cavalry tradition, with most young men owning several horses. The North were fighting reluctantly, out of duty. The South were the kind of people who actively relished a fight. The North had the most talented President America has ever known. The South had a President who was badly out of his depth, both in military and political affairs.


What were 3 main cause of the civil war?

The North and South were based on different economies. The North was mainly a industrial-based economy and the South was a slave-based agrarian economy. Second, the South feared that the North would outvote the South in the Congress and conceivably force the abolition of slavery onto the south, as well as taxes and tarrifs which favored the North. Third, the South contended that they were a part of the Union by their own consent and that they were able to withdraw that consent whenever it suited them, thereby avoiding being outvoted by the North. Yet in the end, the whole thing boiled down to slavery.
