I just finished with the unit of the civil war, the Union had very unskilled soldiers but a lot of them, but the confederates had less soldiers with more skill, the confederates had the motherland aka England supply them but not enough supplies were able to come to them due to the fact that the Union had blocked most of the trade routes in the rivers, that wasone completed accomplishment.

Seriously? The Civil War was a war between North and South. It started in 1861 and lasted years. The reasons for the war range from slavery to states rights. It is a very important part of American history and you really need to study up on it.

I can't believe that someone is asking this question.  Are you American?  Have you never heard of that horrible thing called the "Civil War"?  It's a shame people are so uninterested in American history, especially history that reshaped our country.\nGet a book and read it.\nWhile you are reading that book, you might want to look at a dictionary so you can find the correct spelling of the word "what".  I know, it's a tough one.

Sounds like homework... \nProbably should do some of you own thinking here... but here are a few ideas to get started with...\n(a) What sort of state were the former Confiderate states in? Had they used their manpower and economic resources to better economies or to fight the war?  What was their infrastructure like? Were there roads, towns, etc. left after Sherman's March to the Sea?  \n(b) What was the South's economic system like? With slaves freed, how was the economy (which required lots of manual labor on large plantations) going to function?  How were the white and black citizens in the south going to live together / work together after one class of people were literally property?\n\n(2) You might find starting information on Johnson's reconstruction plans here:\n(This is wikipedia, so you need better sources, but it's a start)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction

The origins of the American Civil War lay in the complex issues of slavery, politics, disagreements over the scope of States' rights, Manifest Destiny, sectionalism, economic competition, modernization, and competing nationalisms of the Antebellum period. Although there is little disagreement among historians on the details of the events that led to war, there is disagreement on exactly what caused what and the relative importance. There is no consensus on whether the war could have been avoided, or if it should have been avoided.

The American Civil War?\n\nThe North and The South.\n\nI believe Kentucky and Mizzou were neutral.  I also think California was in the south (not sure).\n\nEDIT:\n\nThe American Civil war was NOT fought because the south wanted slavery and the North did not.  The American Civil War was fought because the South believed they were not getting a fair shake and decided to break away from the union.  Lincoln said that was illegal and we fought a war to keep our nation whole.\n\nAbolishing slavery was a really great side effect of the war.  BTW, the Emancipation Proclomation did not free all slaves.  It only freed the slaves in states rebelling against the North.  Therefore the slave states that did not secede and fight in the CSA still had legal slavery.

Presidential Reconstruction\n\na. the South was the main battleground of the Civil War\n\n  I.The War’s Aftermath\n\na. war had destroyed property, cities, men, morale, etc.\naa. 2/3 of southern shipping and 9,000 miles of railroad destroyed\nab. 1 out of every 5 white men in the South had been killed\nb. farmers and other poor whites returned home to find their farms in ruins, their livestock dead, no jobs available, and no way to make a living\nc. plantation owners lost slave labor worth about $3 billion\nca. many lost their plantations and all of their money\nd. newly freed slaves had to provide for their needs for the first time in their lives\nda. this was difficult in the South’s wrecked economy and climate of racial discrimination\ne. Federal government’s effort to repair the south and restore southern states to the Union was known as Reconstruction\nf. two issues lay at the heart of Reconstruction:\n1. the future of political & economic power for freed slaves\n2. the future of North-South political and economic relations\n\n  II.Two Reconstruction Plans\n\nLincoln’s Plan\na. Prodigal Son Plan/Ten Percent Plan\naa. tone of forgiveness\n1. offered a pardon to any Confederate who would take an oath of allegiance to the Union & accept federal policy on slavery\n2. denied pardons to Confederates who had killed black war prisoners\n3. allowed each state to hold a constitutional convention only after 10% of the voters who voted in 1860 had sworn allegiance to the Union\n4. states could then hold elections and resume full participation in the Union\nb. Radical Republicans in Congress saw Lincoln’s plan as a threat to their authority\nba. wanted to punish the south\nbb. offered their own plan called the Wade-Davis Bill\nbc. required southern states to repudiate Confederate debt\nbd. required ex-Confederates to take an oath of loyalty\nJohnson’s Plan\na. Andrew Johnson somewhat followed Lincoln’s plan\n1. pardoned southerners who swore allegiance to the Union\n2. allowed each state to hold a constitutional convention\n3. states were required to void secession, abolish slavery, and ratify the 13th Amendment\n4. states could then hold elections and resume full participation in the Union\nb. Johnson’s plan made it possible for former high ranking Confederate officials to hold positions of power in reconstructed southern governments\n\nIII.The Taste of Freedom\n\na. to help the black southerners, Congress created the Freedmen’s Bureau\nb. gave out clothing, medical supplies, and meals to black and white war refugees\nc. built schools and helped provide education for freedmen\n\n\nChapter 13 Section 2 [p.p. 385-390]  Congressional Reconstruction\n\n  I.Black Codes\n\na. southern legislatures passed laws restricting the rights of blacks\nb. North saw black codes as evidence the South sought to keep freedmen in a legally inferior and economically dependent status\n\n II.Turning Point: Fourteenth Amendment\n\na. Radical Republicans in Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 outlawing black codes and giving black men “full and equal benefit of all laws”\naa. Pres. Johnson saw the Civil Rights Act of 1866 as an instrument to provoke racial disharmony\nab. Johnson vetoed it\nb. Radical Republicans began to take over Reconstruction\nc. June 1866, Congress passed 14th Amendment\nca. gave citizenship to blacks\n\nIII.Radical Reconstruction\n\na. moderate and radical Republicans began to form an alliance against Johnson after his vetoes of the Civil Rights Act and the Freedmen’s Bureau bill\nb. Radical Republicans like Charles Sumner believed the Confed. states had ceased to exist as states and must be treated as conquered territory\nc. Congress passed Reconstruction Act of 1867\nca. divided the South into 5 districts\ncb. placed the South under military rule\ncc. ordered southern states to create new constitutions\ncd. gave blacks in the South the right to vote (universal manhood suffrage)\nce. temporarily prohibi

Ok homework question right?????c'mon dont lie.\nOk here it is in a nut shell,\nthe south and north were at odds with each other,some of this was on slavery but most of it was on the economical ideas on where Gov't should place the nations money and interests.\nThe north had more seats in congress at this time(per capita of how many voting persons per state there were living in them)since the north had more voting persons in them they held more congressional seats in the Gov't,while the sourthern part of the United States had fewer people(that could vote)in them giving them less representation in the senate and congress.So the the southerm states came up with an idea of using the number of slaves to get them more house seats but not representing them as a voting population(no rights etc)this was seen as an outrage by the north and the abolisionists in the northern states so the  resentments of north and south increased to a point of attack(Ft.Sumtner) in the south which was the start of the civil war.slavery only became an issue after the fact..but I believe this is what you should be skimming through in your history books and what your teacher is looking for

It depends on what kind of info you want.  Look up the info on the internet as suggested in a previous answer and then, if you want the real deal, visit Civil War battlefields - Gettysburg, Petersburg, Atlanta, Vicksburg, etc.  All those battlefields have park rangers who could probably answer any question you might have.  That would give you multiple sources for a bibliography, too (internet, personal interview, books you might purchase in the gift shop, etc.).  Plus, if you go to the battlefield, you can get great pictures to go along with a report if that's what you're working on.

Go to the website www.usflag.org\n\nKeep in mind that we were not the US as we are today. The Civil War was\nabout northerners and southerners. Therefor the south was the confederate flag, and norhterners were the stars and stripes. Keep in mind the flag for the north was too similar to the confederate.  The union flag was two red stripes seperated by one white stripe. There were seven stars representing the seven northern states.\nThe confederate or known as the Confederate Battle Flag consisted of eleven stars inside the two bars making an "X"  the 11 stars represented the 11 confederate states including Kentucky and Missouri.\nIt is not until after the civil war did we adopt the flag that we know to day. give or take the stars which represent  the 51states.
